They are accused of inciting hate crimes, plotting the murder of federal officials and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. Prosecutors said the Terrorgram Collective even incited at least two terrorist attacks in other countries.

Ahead of Friday's court hearing, prosecutors filed a motion arguing that Humber is dangerous and would likely flee if released from prison before trial.

Prosecutors said Nazi paraphernalia, 3D-printed firearms and ammunition, and other weapons, such as an AR-15, were found at Humber's home.

They also said Humber had been married before. In a 2022 “Terrorgram” group chat, she said she and her husband “solved our first case together a few months after we started dating. We got into a car chase, escaped, and were on the run for a month.”

The defense did not object to the prosecutor's request to keep Humber behind bars.

Humber has been in custody in Sacramento County Federal Court for a week since her arrest last Friday.

Her next hearing is a status conference scheduled for January 2025.
