Two people, who prosecutors say were motivated by white supremacist ideology, used the social media messaging app Telegram to encourage acts of violence against minorities, government officials and critical infrastructure in the United States, the Justice Department said.
The defendants, Dallas Erin Humber and Matthew Robert Allison, were identified on Monday, days after they were arrested.
Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho were detained on Friday. It was not immediately clear if either had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.
