Man Who Went By ‘DarkWitch She/Her’ Arrested In Connection To ICE Bombing Plot

Authorities have arrested a fifth person in connection with a plot to bomb immigration agents on New Year’s Eve.

Law enforcement arrested Micah James Legnon in Louisiana on Saturday after messages tied him to alleged members of the radical leftist group Turtle Island Liberation Front, according to the New York Post. Four alleged members of the front, described by authorities as anti-government and anti-capitalist, were arrested last week in connection with a plot to bomb five sites in Los Angeles and Orange County.

Legnon participated in chat groups under the monikers “Kateri TheWitch” and “DarkWitch She/Her.” Prosecutors produced messages that they said showed Legnon planned to bomb sites in New Orleans at the same time that bombs were set to go off in California.

Legnon “was previously a member of the Marines with training in combat.” A raid on Legnon’s home in Louisiana produced “sniper training manuals, SWAT training manuals, assault rifles, and multiple rounds of ammunition,” the criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday said.

Legnon has been charged with one count of making threats in interstate commerce, according to CBS News.

Last week, authorities arrested Audrey Illeene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante Gaffield, and Tina Lai in Lucerne Valley, California. All are alleged members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front and face charges of conspiracy and possession of a destructive device.

The four defendants allegedly plotted to bomb sites in California, in particular targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Two of the group, Page and Carroll, allegedly discussed plans to bomb ICE vehicles during the months of January and February.

The foiled terror plot and arrests come as ICE agents have faced an 8,000% increase in death threats since President Donald Trump commenced his crackdown on illegal immigration. The Department of Homeland Security has also reported a roughly 1,100% jump in assaults against ICE agents.
