A U.S. leader of the neo-Nazi accelerationist network known as the #Terrorgram Collective directly communicated with a 16-year-old who killed four people in a school shooting spree that took place in Brazil in 2022. The link was disclosed for the first time in a filing last month by federal prosecutors opposing bail review for Matthew Robert Allison, one of two Terrorgram leaders who are charged with soliciting the murder of federal officials and conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists, among other alleged offenses. Allison’s co-defendant, 34-year-old Dallas Erin Humber, of Elk Grove, Calif., told him that “she had direct messages with a Terrorgram user who was planning to commit a racially motivated school shooting,” according to the government filing. The reference to the school shooting plot surfaced in “secret chat” between Humber and Allison on Oct. 23, 2022. A month later, the government said, the Terrorgram user carried out the shooting, resulting in the deaths of four people. (…) As a conspiracy case linked to at least three attacks around the world with charges carrying up to 220 years in prison for each defendant, the Terrorgram prosecution is the United States’ most high stakes white supremacist terrorism case. The U.S. State Department designated Terrorgram as a global terrorist group, joining the United Kingdom and Australia, just a week before President Joe Biden left office. So far, the Trump Department of Justice has given no indication that it intends to change course on the Terrorgram case. Two attorneys from the National Security Division and two others from the Civil Rights Division assigned while Biden was still in office remain on the case.
