Federal authorities arrested four members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group, in California on Friday. Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai, all from the Los Angeles area, are charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device. The arrests occurred in the Mojave Desert as the suspects were allegedly working on a bomb plot targeting multiple locations, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and vehicles, beginning on New Year's Eve. Officials claim the group was planning a "massive and horrific terror plot" and were apprehended before they could construct a functional bomb. Additional charges are expected.
