Third indictment in 'Terrorgram' white supremacy case tied to Sacramento region

A third member of a white supremacist group that Sacramento federal prosecutors say advocated for a race war and the killing of government officials has been arrested and indicted for conspiracy and solicitation of murder, an indictment unsealed Wednesday shows.

Noah Jacob Lamb, 24, was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on Tuesday in connection with the FBI’s ongoing investigation into a social media group known as the Terrorgram Collective. The group’s alleged leaders, Dallas Erin Humber of Elk Grove and Matthew Robert Allison of Idaho were arrested and charged last fall in a related case.

Prosecutors said the group maintained a “kill list”of people they wanted to assassinate, celebrating the mass shooting at the LGBTQ nightclub Pulse in Orlando and urging their followers to murder members of nonwhite ethnic groups, Jews and others they perceived to be their enemies.

Using the messaging platform Telegram, the organization distributed information about their targets, describing one elected official as an “anti-white, anti-gun Jewish Senator,” and another as “an invader” from a foreign country, prosecutors said in their indictment against Humber and Allison. Another targeted official was referred to by a racial slur, prosecutors said.

The indictment against Lamb says he helped Humber and Allison by providing the names and addresses of assassination targets, including two in the Seattle area requested by a member of the group based in the Pacific Northwest.

One of his roles in the group was to identify targets and to dox them, a term for widely releasing someone’s personal information, including their home address, social media profiles and phone number, the indictment said.

 

On Lamb’s recommendation, the group’s kill list began with a quote from “The Turner Diaries,” a novel by a white nationalist that describes the systematic murder of “race traitors” and other perceived enemies of far-right white supremacists, the indictment said.

He was charged with one count of conspiracy, three counts of solicitation of murder of a federal official and three counts of doxxing, the indictment shows.

“The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is committed to aggressively pursuing those who engage in hate-fueled conspiracies and terrorist threats,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “We will use every tool available to protect the civil rights of all Americans and ensure justice for those targeted by such heinous acts.”

The indictment did not say where Lamb lived but it did say his alleged activities took place within the federal court’s Eastern District, which includes Sacramento. If convicted, he faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the conspiracy charge, 20 years and $250,000 for solicitation of murder charges and five years and $250,000 for the doxxing charges.
