A 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with a disturbing White supremacist plot that allegedly aimed to kill federal officials. Prosecutors say he helped make a “kill list” that included high-profile targets such as a US senator and a federal judge.
The man, identified as Noah Lamb, was charged in federal court in Northern California. He now faces eight criminal counts, including conspiracy to kill federal officials and soliciting their murder. The charges stem from an investigation into his alleged role in a secretive online extremist group.
Authorities say Lamb was part of a network of individuals tied to White supremacist accelerationism. This violent belief system supports the idea that acts of terror can cause social collapse and lead to a racially pure nation. Prosecutors allege Lamb played a central role in creating a list of enemies, known as “The List,” to promote this violent ideology.
The group, called the Terrorgram Collective, operated on Telegram, a private messaging platform. Members of the collective are accused of spreading extremist views and targeting people they saw as threats to their beliefs. Court records reveal that Lamb was a longtime member and had key responsibilities in the group.
According to investigators, Lamb helped identify individuals to be placed on the kill list. He also worked to gather personal data, including home addresses and photographs, which were shared with others in the group. These details were then used to create what officials describe as a “hit list” complete with images of guns and threats of violence.
Court documents reveal that one target was a sitting US senator who was labeled in hate-filled language. Another was a federal judge whom the group accused of being from another country and referred to using racist terms. Prosecutors say these details show how the group used hate speech and threats to inspire violence.
The kill list reportedly featured names, home addresses, photos of the targets, and even pictures of their spouses. Next to each entry was an image of a rifle and a brief reason for why that person should be murdered. Investigators say the list was shared among members of the group with the aim of encouraging attacks.
Lamb’s arrest took place on Tuesday. Federal agents searching his property said they found items linked to violent extremism, including White supremacist documents and parts for firearms. These findings supported their request to keep him in custody while legal proceedings continue.
At this time, court records do not list a lawyer representing Lamb. He has not made any public statement or entered a plea in the case.
The charges against Lamb follow the earlier arrests of two others connected to the same plot. Prosecutors believe the three worked together to build the list and spread it to others. All are accused of pushing dangerous views that promote hate and violence.
Law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the broader activities of the Terrorgram Collective. The group is known for using online platforms to share extremist materials and connect like-minded users.
Officials warn that online hate groups pose serious risks. They say individuals can become radicalized through these networks and may act on violent ideas. The Justice Department has pledged to take strong action against any threats to public safety, especially those targeting federal officials.
The case is part of a growing effort to address domestic extremism and online radicalization. Authorities stress the importance of tracking hate-driven plots before they can lead to real-world violence.
The White supremacist plot tied to Noah Lamb is being closely watched by national security experts. They view it as a reminder of the continuing dangers posed by extremist online communities.
