A California man who was an alleged White supremacist and member of a transnational terrorist group faces federal charges after creating a list containing federal officials as targets for assassination, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

The DOJ said 24-year-old Noah Lamb has been indicted on eight counts, including conspiracy, three counts each of soliciting the murder of federal officials and doxxing federal officials and a single count of threatening communications, all in connection with his work on a hit list of “high-value targets” for assassination.

“The defendant collaborated with members of the online “Terrorgram Collective” to create a list of targets for assassination,” acting U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith said. “Individuals on the list were targeted because of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity, including federal officials. 

An indictment unsealed on Wednesday claims Lamb was a member of the “Terrorgram Collective,” which is a transnational terrorist group that operates Telegram, a digital messaging platform.

The indictment against Humber and Allison claims they were both leaders of the “Terrorgram Collective.”

Federal prosecutors said at the time that the channel was used to promote “white supremacist accelerationism” and the idea that violence and terrorism were “necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government and the rise of a white ethnostate.” 

The indictment accused the two of soliciting followers via the Telegram channel to attack perceived enemies of White people, including government buildings and energy facilities and “high-value” targets, such as politicians.

DOJ officials said the pair used the app to transmit bomb-making instructions and to distribute a list of potential targets for assassination — including a federal judge, a senator and a former U.S. attorney — and to celebrate acts or plots from active “Terrorgram” users.

Allison and Humber pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
