An Elk Grove woman who led a white supremacist group was sentenced Wednesday in federal court for soliciting assassinations, terrorist attacks and hate crimes.
Dallas Erin Humber, 35, used online platforms to solicit the murder of federal officials and conspired to provide material support to terrorists, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento.
When Humber was arrested in September 2024, federal authorities found domestic terrorist patches, Nazi paraphernalia, 3D printed firearms, 3D printers, ammunition, trigger extenders, SIM cards and flash drives. Humber pleaded guilty to the charges in August.
“Humber actively encouraged violence against, and the murder of, individuals based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity,” U.S. Attorney Eric Grant said in the news release.
Federal prosecutors said Humber served as a leader of the Terrorgram Collective, a white supremacist transnational terrorist group, from July 2022 through September 2024. They said she and other in the group solicited people to commit hate crimes, terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure and assassinations.
Humber and the group provided technical, inspirational and operational guidance to equip people to plan, prepare for and carry out attacks, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“From the comfort of her suburban California home, Humber used online platforms to celebrate violence and solicit attacks that took the lives of innocent people and injured others around the world,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said in the news release. “Her incarceration makes the world a safer place.”
Prosecutors said Humber and the Terrorgram Collective guided attackers to shoot three people, killing two of them, at an LGBTQ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia. They also reportedly orchestrated a shooting 11 people, killing four of them, at two schools in Aracruz, Brazil; and the stabbing five people outside a mosque in Eskisehir, Turkey.
Inspired and guided by Humber and her white supremacist group, others committed attacks or plotted to commit attacks in the United States and elsewhere. Prosecutors said they plotted to attack an energy facility in New Jersey, plotted to bomb an energy facility in Tennessee, plotted to murder two people in Wisconsin as part of a plan to assassinate a federal official and attempted to assassinate an Australian official.
“Dallas Humber led the Terrorgram Collective as they conspired to murder federal officials and solicited individuals to commit hate crimes across the globe,” FBI Sacramento Special Agent in Charge Sid Patel said in the news release. “Her 30-year sentence serves as a clear message that those who conspire to commit murder and solicit acts of terror in our communities will face justice.”
