Terrorists plotted to detonate weapons of mass destruction across LA, feds say in bombshell new charges

Two suspects in a far-left “anti-capitalist, anti-government” extremist group known as the “Turtle Island Liberation Front” were charged Tuesday with plotting to detonate weapons of mass destruction in and around Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve in a bombshell grand jury indictment.
The FBI — with the help of a confidential informant and undercover agent — disrupted the planned attack, which was designed to “completely pulverize” tech companies and logistics firms around LA before targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with a series of shootings and pipe-bomb explosions, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Zachary Aaron Page, a 32-year-old trans woman, and Audrey Illeene Carroll, a 30-year-old who goes by the nickname “Black Moon,” were both charged with one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, prosecutors said.
In total, four suspects — Page, Caroll, Dante “Nomad” James Anthony-Gaffield, 24, and Tina “Kickwhere” Lai, 41 — were arrested Dec. 12 in the Mojave Desert where they were attempting to test the bombs, authorities said. They each face charges related to the terrorist plot and all are being held without bail. Page was denied a request to transfer to a women’s prison in a hearing last week.
