( NewsNation ) —Prosecutors have charged two hate g r oup leaders who called for a race war and the assassinations of some U.S federal officials on media platform Telegram.
Authorities said Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho, are leaders of a “transnational terrorist group” called “Terrorgram” which believes “violence and terrorism are necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government and the rise of a white ethnostate,” according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.
The two pushed out several videos and publications that provide specific advice for “carrying out crimes, celebrate white supremacist attacks, and provide a hit list of “high-value targets” for assassination,” court papers stated.
They called for the targeting of people who are Black, Jewish and LGBTQ+, among other groups, the filing stated
They also shared a hit list of “high-value targets” to assassinate, which included a U.S. senator, a U.S. District Court judge and a former federal prosecutor.
