Noah Lamb, 24, has been hit with an eight-count indictment for conspiracy, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and more, all tied to a chilling hit list targeting high-profile individuals. According to authorities, Lamb worked alongside the online Terrorgram Collective to compile a list of assassination targets, including federal, state, and local officials.
Michele Beckwith, Acting U.S. Attorney, pointed out that the defendant collaborated with hate-fueled ideologues to create this list, targeting individuals based on their race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The Justice Department is committed to pursuing such violations of federal law.
“Transnational criminal networks promoting violent extremism have no place in our society,” said John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for National Security. “These charges reflect our dedication to using the full force of the law against those who threaten public safety and national security with hate-driven violence.”
The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is equally determined, as Harmeet K. Dhillon emphasized, “We will use every tool available to protect civil rights and ensure justice for those targeted by such heinous acts.” FBI Special Agent in Charge Sid Patel echoed this sentiment, noting that these charges send a message of zero tolerance against violence promoting ideologies.
Lamb is a member of the Terrorgram Collective, an online group operating on Telegram that promotes racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism. The indictment claims Lamb conspired with others to disseminate a hit list that included both public officials and leaders in private companies and NGOs.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Abendroth and his team will prosecute the case, which carries serious penalties if convicted. Lamb faces up to five years for conspiracy, 20 years per solicitation of murder charge, five years per doxing charge, and fines up to $250,000 per conviction.
