Federal law enforcement officials said Monday that four members of a far-left anti-government group have been arrested and face charges for allegedly planning a series of bomb attacks across Southern California on New Year’s Eve.
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X that the Justice Department and FBI “prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California,” which encompasses Los Angeles and Orange County.

Mr. Trump has targeted far-left groups and movements as leading domestic terrorism threats. In September, the president signed a memorandum calling for the creation of a “national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence,” as well as investigations into organizations that he believes engage in political violence. He claimed that violent conduct is animated by “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” views.
