Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Four members of the extremist anti-capitalist, anti-government Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF) were arrested in Southern California for a New Year's Eve bomb plot.

The suspects were charged with conspiracy and possession of destructive devices, having planned coordinated improvised explosive device (IED) bombings.

Described as far-left and pro-Palestine, the group harbored anti-American sentiments, explicitly seeking 'death to America' and 'death to ICE'.

Their plot specifically targeted ICE agents and vehicles in the Los Angeles area, with bomb-making materials discovered at a desert campsite in the Mojave Desert.

The FBI and Department of Justice successfully thwarted these alleged bombings, preventing potential attacks and ensuring public safety on New Year's Eve.
