FBI Arrests 4 Far-Left Terrorists Plotting to Detonate Several Bombs in LA on New Year’s Eve

Federal authorities say they have stopped what could have been one of the deadliest far-left terror attacks in modern U.S. history, arresting four alleged members of a radical pro-Hamas extremist network who were reportedly preparing coordinated New Year’s Eve bombings across Los Angeles.

The plot sought to target innocent New Year’s Eve revelers by detonating several bombs in multiple locations across the southern California city.

The FBI confirmed the arrests in a Monday announcement.

According to the FBI, the suspects identified themselves as part of a violent offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front.

The leftist fringe group is steeped in pro-Hamas agitation, anti-police extremism, anti-capitalism, and open hostility toward the U.S. government.

The group frames its mission as freeing “Turtle Island” — an Indigenous term for North America — from what it calls the “illegal American empire.”

Their messaging openly blends pro-Hamas rhetoric with revolutionary extremism.

“Free Palestine. Free Hawaii. Free Puerto Rico,” the group posted on Instagram.

Federal officials say the arrests prevented a likely mass-casualty event on one of the busiest nights of the year, when coordinated bombings could have produced chaos across multiple neighborhoods.

In a post on X, FBI Director Kash Patel said that the four arrested are members of the group.

FBI Arrests 4 Far-Left Terrorists Plotting to Detonate Several Bombs in LA on New Year’s Eve

Conservative journalist Frank Scales was hospitalized Saturday after being sprayed with an unknown substance while reporting on anti-ICE protests in Center City Philadelphia.

Scales, known for conducting man-on-the-street interviews, had been covering demonstrations near City Hall on Friday night.

During the protests, he was repeatedly threatened by leftists as he attempted to ask questions.

One individual, who identified himself as “Big John,” warned Scales that he would assault him if he did not leave the area.

“Are you threatening me?” Scales asked on camera.

“Absolutely,” the individual responded, adding a profane rant in which he said he did not care about laws, police, or jail.

A Columbus, Ohio, man has been arrested over allegations that he was plotting a deadly attack against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Justin Novoa, 21, is accused of issuing violent threats against ICE agents and preparing for a heavily armed shooting assault.

He appeared before a federal judge and will remain in custody as his case proceeds. ...

According to court filings, investigators were first alerted on Dec. 11, 2025, to a series of alleged threats posted on X under the handle “@Father2High.”

In a June 8, 2025, post, the account stated that “they should blast every ice agent they find.”

Another post from November read, “cant wait to shoot these p*y ice agents and ret**d maga maggots.”

Authorities say they obtained account records from X Corp., which included an email address bearing Novoa’s name and a phone number with a Columbus-area 614 prefix.

Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food.

Any comment @VCUHealth? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?

An arrest has been made in connection with the assault of Philadelphia-based journalist Frank Scales, who was pepper-sprayed and punched while riding a city bus earlier this month.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of January 19 amid anti-ICE protests in the Pennsylvania city.

Scales and members of his team were traveling on a SEPTA Route 7 bus in the 2300 block of Carpenter Street.

Video from the bus’s surveillance system, along with footage recorded by a member of Scales’ team, shows the suspect confronting and attacking the journalist after ordering him to get off the bus. ...

She repeatedly called him a “fascist” and a “racist,” attempted to grab his phone, struck him, and deployed pepper spray at least twice.

“How am I a fascist?” Scales asked before being sprayed the first time.

He then moved to another seat as Reyes continued shouting.

Moments later, she approached him again, deployed pepper spray a second time, and repeatedly struck him.

The bus driver removed Reyes from the vehicle, and SEPTA police arrived shortly afterward.
