The FBI arrested another suspected member of the Turtle Island Liberation Front over allegations that [she] was plotting a terrorist attack in Louisiana.
[Name], 29, “intended to travel to New Orleans to carry out an attack by means of weapons,” an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit. [She] is being charged with one count of making threats in interstate commerce.
Earlier this month, [name] was under surveillance by the FBI due to accusations that [she] was affiliated with four individuals recently charged in court with plotting multiple New Year’s Eve terrorist attacks across Los Angeles for TILF.
When [name] was stopped by law enforcement on a Louisiana highway on Friday, the former Marine had an assault-style rifle, pistol, gas canister, and body armor in [her] car, according to court papers.
[Name] served as a New Iberia police officer before being placed on administrative leave in May 2022 and resigning that fall.
[She] now stands accused of being connected to TILF, an extremist group that perpetuates Marxist ideology advocating “liberation through decolonization and tribal sovereignty” and argues that “freeing the world from American imperialism is the only way to a safe and peaceful future.” The Trump administration has described TILF as a “far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group.”
The Justice Department also charged four alleged TILF members on Monday with planning to launch terrorist attacks in Los Angeles later this month.
The plan called for backpacks with bombs to be simultaneously detonated in at least five locations targeting two unnamed U.S. companies, described as “logistic centers,” at midnight on New Year’s Eve, according to the agency. The group also allegedly discussed attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and vehicles with pipe bombs in January or February “to take some of them out and scare the rest of them.”
The four suspects were testing bomb-making components in the Mohave Desert when the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested them, according to officials.
