‘Terrorgram’ Charges Show US Has Had Tools to Crack Down on Far-Right Terrorism All Along

Quick Summary:

The federal indictment of two alleged members of the Terrorgram Collective, a far-right cell accused of inspiring "lone wolf” attacks, reveals the US is now using a "forgotten” legal strategy.

Federal prosecutors allege Humber, Allison, and other Terrorgram Collective members were in the process of compiling a fifth, yet-to-be-released publication devoted to a pantheon of “saints”—neofascist mass murderers like Timothy McVeigh and Anders Breivik.

Humber and Allison were both federal targets as early as early 2023, but authorities appear to have waited for a year and a half to compile evidence of potential attacks around the world, and for the British government’s decision this April to formally ban the Terrorgram Collective, before filing an indictment that could land the defendants in prison for more than two centuries.
