00:00A group of far-left extremists allegedly planned what could have been a deadly New Year's Eve
00:05terror attack aimed at ICE agents. Prosecutors, four members of a group named the Order of the
00:10Black Lotus, a splinter group of the anti-capitalist Turtle Island Liberation Front,
00:15planned to blow up pipe bombs at two U.S. companies in Los Angeles. Never heard of the
00:20Turtle Island Liberation Front? Well, they're a little-known pro-Palestine, anti-law enforcement,
00:24anti-government group that post disturbing slogans online like, death to America. Now,
00:30they've quietly been raising funds for a, quote, revolutionary change in government.
00:34The group also intended to target federal immigration agents with similar bombs sometime
00:40in January or February. According to the criminal complaint, they hoped that the blasts would,
00:44quote, take some of them out and scare the rest of them. The suspects, Audrey Carroll, Zachary Page,
00:50Dante Garfield, and Tina Lai were busted when they tried to detonate IEDs in the Mojave Desert.
00:56They were each charged with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
