Federal authorities disrupted what the Justice Department described as a “massive and horrific” terrorist plot targeting Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, arresting multiple alleged members of a left-wing extremist group accused of planning coordinated bombings across Southern California.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Monday that the DOJ, working with the FBI, prevented a series of planned attacks by a group that calls itself the Turtle Island Liberation Front, which officials characterized as pro-Palestinian, anti-government, anti-capitalist, and hostile toward law enforcement.
