What we know about the Turtle Island Liberation Front charged in terrorist plot

A radical, pro-Palestinian group known as the Turtle Island Liberation Front plotted to carry out coordinated bombings against several targets in Southern California beginning on New Year’s Eve, according to federal authorities.

The anti-government group, which is based in Los Angeles, where the mass uprisings against Immigration and Customs Enforcement erupted earlier this year, also allegedly planned to target ICE agents and vehicles. At recent anti-ICE protests, keffiyeh-wearing activists with the group’s founding Los Angeles chapter were seen carrying signs calling for “Death to ICE.”
