One of two U.S.-based leaders of the white supremacist Terrorgram Collective accused of solicitation of the murder of federal officials and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, among other charges, has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Dallas Erin Humber’s lawyer filed a notice co-signed by attorneys for the U.S. Department of Justice on July 25, announcing that the parties have entered a plea deal, Raw Story can reveal.
Humber is expected to appear before a federal judge in Sacramento on Aug. 8 to formally enter a guilty plea. Last September, Humber pleaded not guilty. Her next court appearance is described as a “change of plea hearing.” As charged, she could face up to 220 years in prison.
The U.S. government has described Terrorgram Collective as “a transnational terrorist group that solicited others to commit bias-motivated mass shootings, terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure, and assassinations for the purpose of accelerating the collapse of the government and inciting a race war.”
Along with co-defendant Matthew Robert Allison, Humber is alleged to have taken over leadership of Terrorgram in summer 2022, following the arrest of its founder, Pavol Benadik, in Slovakia.
Among members, Humber stood out for narrating audio books of terrorism manuals and mass shooter manifestos, and for communicating directly with teenage shooters who carried out attacks.
Terrorgram promoted a demented hagiography of mass murder by celebrating perpetrators as “saints,” held up as examples for impressionable teenagers to emulate.
“If you become a Saint I’d narrate your book. That’s the cost of admission,” Humber allegedly told a Slovakian teenager, Juraj Krajčík, in July 2022, adding: “Dead targets or I don’t care.”
Three months later, Krajčík fatally shot two LGBTQ+ people outside a gay bar in Bratislava.
Krajčík provided a copy of his manifesto to Humber in advance, according to the U.S. government.
Krajčík thanked Terrorgram Collective in his manifesto, adding: “You know who you are. Thank you for your incredible writing and art, for your political texts; for your practical guides. Building the future for White revolution, one publication at a time.”
Following the attack, Humber allegedly hailed Krajčik as “Terrogram’s very first saint.”
Krajčík was not the only shooter with whom Humber communicated, according to the U.S. government.
Following Humber’s arrest in September 2024, investigators discovered a chat with Allison in October 2022, in which Humber told her fellow Terrorgram leader “that she had direct messages with a Terrorgram user who was planning to commit a racially motivated school shooting.”
A month later, 16-year-old Gabriel Castiglioni, entered a public K-8 school and then a private school in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo, carrying a semiautomatic weapon and a revolver. He fatally shot four people.
Noa Oren, Humber’s lawyer, did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
‘Kill list’
The U.S. government has also linked Terrorgram to a stabbing attack in Turkey and a plot to attack electrical substations in New Jersey.
In January 2025, just before President Joe Biden left office, the U.S. State Department formally named Terrorgram as a “specially designated global terrorist” group.
Since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the U.S. government has expanded its case against Terrorgram.
In June, a grand jury indicted a third alleged member, Noah Lamb, who is accused of conspiring with Humber and Allison to create and disseminate a “kill list.”
In a recent court filing for Lamb’s case, the government asserted that “more attacks have been traced back to the Terrorgram Collective.”
Such attacks include the school shooting in Brazil, a plot to bomb an energy substation in Tennessee, a plot to assassinate Australian Labor MP Tim Crakanthorp, and a double murder allegedly committed as part of a plot by a Wisconsin teenager to gain the financial resources and independence necessary to assassinate President Trump.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, and its National Security Division are prosecuting the Terrorgram Collective defendants, alongside the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California.
“The reality is, unfortunately, the United States is a propagator of white identity terrorism,” Ian Moss, former deputy coordinator for the Bureau of Counterterrorism at the State Department, previously told Raw Story.
“REMVE [racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist] actors and white identity actors abroad draw inspiration and community — both virtually and in person — with folks who are based in the United States.”
