A white supremacist group that branded itself the Terrorgram Collective drew up a list of high-profile assassination targets including at least one senator and a district court judge, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.
Prosecutors allege that the two leading agitators of the group incited followers on the messaging app Telegram to commit hate crimes against Black and Jewish people, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho, face 15 counts each of soliciting hate crimes and providing material support to terrorism. US justice department lawyers filed the
37-page indictment in district court in the eastern district of California on Thursday.
It alleges the pair encouraged attacks on government infrastructure, energy facilities and other buildings “to ignite a race war and help accelerate the collapse of government and society”.

They produced a digital dossier for followers called the Hard Reset setting out the group’s ideology and containing instructions for making bombs and carrying out other terror attacks, as well as tactics for evading law enforcement, prosecutors said.
They also produced a list of “high-value” targets for assassination, they said. The sitting US senator and judge allegedly targeted were not named in the indictment, but were perceived by the accused “as enemies of the white supremacist cause” and therefore legitimate prey.
