US says white supremacist group tried to incite followers on Telegram to spark race war

Leaders Dallas Humber and Matthew Allison face 15 counts including soliciting hate crimes and support for terrorism

A white supremacist group that branded itself the Terrorgram Collective drew up a list of high-profile assassination targets including at least one senator and a district court judge, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.

Prosecutors allege that the two leading agitators of the group incited followers on the messaging app Telegram to commit hate crimes against Black and Jewish people, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
