By all available accounts, Dallas Humber barely socialized with her Elk Grove community — she didn’t own a home, raise kids or work a salaried job. But on the vast internet, Humber tapped into a nearly unlimited global network to attempt to solicit assassinations of U.S. government leaders and encourage white supremacists to unleash terror attacks upon minorities, authorities said. The 34-year-old was indicted Monday after federal prosecutors said she helped lead a chat on messaging app Telegram that provided detailed instructions on how to create bombs and created an list of assassination targets including a senator, federal judge, state officials and more. A court document filed Tuesday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento, arguing for her continued detention, revealed more information about Humber’s background and arrest last week. Among the new details noted by prosecutors: that Humber was found with a trove of firearms, some of them 3D-printed; that she was an ex-fugitive chased by police two years ago; and that she has corresponded with a white supremacist mass shooter who murdered nine people at a South Carolina church. Humber pleaded not guilty Monday to 15 charges related to overseeing a group named “The Terrorgram Collective.” Humber and her co-defendant, 37-year-old Matthew Robert Allison, of Boise, Idaho, are accused of encouraging violence against U.S. officials and spreading white supremacist ideology consumed by followers, some of whom went on to commit terrorist attacks overseas. The United Kingdom designated “The Terrorgram Collective” as a terrorist organization in April. (…) When Humber was arrested Friday, federal authorities found domestic terrorist patches, Nazi paraphernalia, 3D printed firearms, 3D printers, ammunition, trigger extenders, SIM cards and flash drives, according to the court filing. Humber is in touch with her parents but does not have her own family, and she works an “unsalaried job,” according to the federal court filing. It appears Humber may have been married at one point. Humber said in a June 2022 Terrorgram Collective post that she and her husband “caught our first case together a few months after we started dating,” and were involved in a high-speed chase with police, prosecutors said. They were fugitives for a month, the court filing said. The court document did not specify where exactly Humber was arrested, nor did the Justice Department on Monday. Public records list Humber’s most recent address as a home in Elk Grove. Humber appears to have dedicated her life to spreading the white supremacist ideology. She called white supremacist Brandon Russell while he was in custody and vowed to never quit their worldview, the court filing said. “It’s a lifelong commitment,” Humber said, according to prosecutors. Russell, a member of a neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen, was sentenced in 2018 to five years in prison for possessing an unregistered destructive device and for unlawfully storing explosive material while living in Tampa. He was also indicted last year in connection to plotting to attack electric substations in Baltimore. Even Telegram banned Humber and Allison’s accounts, channels and chats for posting extremist content, but they continued to create new ones. Both employed “sophisticated technologies” to hide their true location and frequently changed account names, the court filing said.
