Federal authorities have foiled a terrifying New Year’s Eve terror plot by far-left radicals, including trans-identifying extremists from the “Turtle Island Liberation Front” (TILF), revealing the menacing core of Antifa-style groups endangering U.S. security and sovereignty.
Five arrests occurred Friday—four in Los Angeles, one in Louisiana—on charges of conspiracy, unregistered destructive devices, and interstate threats, exposing the risks of unchecked leftist radicalism favoring chaos over order. This takedown underscores how left-wing extremism breeds domestic terrorism, calling for robust enforcement to shield society from anti-government fanatics.
Two transgender-identifying suspects spotlight the fusion of extreme gender ideologies and violence: 32-year-old Zachary Page of Los Angeles, insisting on women’s jail placement against biological facts, and 29-year-old ex-Marine Micah James Legnon of Louisiana, using “she/her” pronouns and aliases like “Kateri TheWitch.” Legnon’s social media brims with vitriol, urging “fascist” murders and Waco-style assaults on ICE.
The plan entailed building and testing IEDs in the Mojave Desert to prepare for bombings at five L.A. sites on New Year’s Eve, aiming at American firms and ICE to incite disorder and weaken borders. Seized TILF posters read “Death to America” and “Death to ICE,” capturing the group’s Marxist disdain for the country and its guardians. Tied to the “Order of the Black Lotus” faction, this scheme highlights genuine far-left threats.U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli condemned these “radicalized Antifa-like groups” as threats to safety and justice in a DOJ briefing.
