Dallas Humber, 35, of Elk Grove, pleaded guilty to charges including soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. The Justice Department and Acting U.S. Attorney Kimberly A. Sanchez announced the plea on August 8, 2025.
According to the Justice Department, Humber led the Terrorgram Collective, described as a transnational terrorist group that promoted white supremacy and violence. From July 2022 until her arrest in September 2024, Humber and other members of the group encouraged individuals to commit hate crimes and attacks on critical infrastructure, as well as assassinations. They also provided guidance intended to help others plan and carry out these acts.
“Hate and terror have no place in this country or abroad,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “By securing this conviction, my office makes clear that purveyors of these heinous crimes will be brought to justice.”
“Humber led a transnational terrorist group promoting white supremacy, hate crimes, and violence, including soliciting the murder of U.S. government officials,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “Her actions posed a direct threat to our citizens and national security, and the National Security Division will hold her, as well as others who commit these illegal acts, accountable for their terrorist aims.”
“Humber solicited murders and hate crimes based on the race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity of others,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Sanchez. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work tirelessly with our partners in law enforcement and in the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute those who commit such violations of federal criminal law and keep our people and public officials safe from hate-fueled crimes of violence.”
Humber admitted that she inspired or guided several plots or attacks both in the United States and internationally during her leadership role in the Terrorgram Collective. These included plotting attacks on energy facilities in New Jersey and Tennessee; plotting murders in Wisconsin related to an assassination plan against a federal official; attempting to assassinate an Australian official; shooting at an LGBT bar in Bratislava resulting in two deaths; shootings at schools in Aracruz, Brazil causing four deaths; and stabbing incidents outside a mosque in Eskişehir, Turkey.
The FBI Sacramento Field Office led the investigation with support from various domestic and international law enforcement agencies. The prosecution team includes Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Abendroth; Senior Litigation Counsel Christopher Perras; Trial Attorneys Samuel A. Kuhn (Civil Rights Division) and Patrick Cashman (National Security Division).
Humber is scheduled for sentencing before U.S. District Judge Dena Coggins on December 5, 2025. The plea agreement suggests a prison term between 25 to 30 years but leaves final sentencing up to the court.
