‘Terrorgram’ leaders indicted over plotting assassinations of public officials – Washington Examiner
A federal court recently unsealed an indictment against Matthew Allison and Dallas Humber, two alleged leaders of a terrorist chat group known as the “Terrorgram Collective.” They are charged with plotting assassinations of public officials as part of a scheme to promote a “white revolution.” The indictment alleges that they targeted various officials, including a senator and a federal judge, and sought to incite violence against marginalized groups, including Black, Jewish, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Allison, 37, and Humber, 34, reportedly communicated through Telegram and encouraged acts of violence, including bomb-making and murder, to support their extremist ideology. Evidence presented in the indictment includes plans for real-life attacks and a “hit list,” with their group allegedly inspiring a shooting at a gay bar in Slovakia in 2022.
The indictment also reveals that the accused both glorified past mass shooters and actively stoked violence online, with Humber urging members to take up arms in response to protests in France. Their actions reflect a broader pattern of promoting racially motivated violence and terrorism.
‘Terrorgram’ leaders indicted over plotting assassinations of public officials
A federal court unsealed an indictment on Monday against two alleged leaders of a terrorist chat group who authorities say plotted assassinations against officials in hopes of achieving a “white revolution.”
Matthew Allison of Boise, Idaho, and Dallas Humber of Elk Grove, California, were arrested Friday and charged by the Department of Justice with “soliciting the murder of federal officials,” encouraging bomb making, and providing “material support” to terrorists.
The pair allegedly took aim at black, Jewish, and gay people, as well as immigrants. Their targets included a senator, a federal judge, a U.S. attorney, state officials, and others, according to the indictment, which was brought in the Eastern District of California.
Allison, 37, and Humber, 34, allegedly developed their plans in a network of online chat groups on the messaging platform Telegram. The indictment identifies the network as the Terrorgram Collective, the former word being a blend of the words “terrorism” and “Telegram.”
The defendants were accused of using Terrorgram to maintain and spread around ominous documents, including a hit list of officials and a publication called the “Hard Reset,” which contained detailed instructions for making different types of bombs and explosives.
While not named in the indictment, the senator is described on the hit list as “an Anti-White, Anti-gun, Jewish Senator.” The federal judge is described on the list as an “invader” from a foreign country. Allison and Humber allegedly engaged with Terrorgram members about logistics for carrying out attacks on people on the list, the indictment said.
On multiple occasions, Terrorgram members carried out real-life attacks, according to the indictment. One instance allegedly included a 19-year-old killing two people at a gay bar in Slovakia in 2022 before dying by suicide. Allison and Humber corresponded with the shooter before the attack and took credit for inspiring the shooter after the person thanked Terrorgram in a manifesto, the indictment said. Humber later allegedly turned the manifesto into an audiobook.
Allison and Humber also allegedly encouraged people to commit murder to achieve “Sainthood” and honored current “Saints,” who included mass shooters, such as the man who killed 51 people at a mosque in New Zealand in 2019.
In one instance, Humber blasted a message out to Terrorgram members during protests in France in July 2023, urging them to kill.
“Don’t cower in your rooms, waiting for the n***** riots to stop. Instead, load your magazines and get cozy,” Humber allegedly wrote. “Don’t second-guess your Racial Duty. Don’t breathe a word of what you’re planning to anyone, and make every shot count.”
On June 1, 2023, Humber posted about “f** month” in reference to Pride Month, which many in the United States recognize as a celebration of the gay community. The month has, at times, sparked controversy for exposing children to provocative or sexual material.
“While conservatards might be satisfied fighting back economically [with boycotts], let’s be real — there are MUCH better ways to fight back,” Humber wrote, according to the indictment. “Mass shootings, arson, bombings, vehicular attacks, the list goes on and the opportunities provided to you this month will be plentiful.”
The DOJ characterized Terrorgram during a press conference Monday as a transnational terrorist group.
“The defendants were motivated by their ideology of white supremacy and accelerationism, an ideology centered on the belief that the white race is superior and that violence and terrorism are necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government,” said Matthew Olsen, an assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s National Security Division.
Humber is set to make her initial appearance in federal court in California on Monday, and Allison’s first appearance in court is scheduled for Tuesday in Idaho.
