Federal agents say they stopped what could have become a devastating wave of coordinated explosions across Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve, detaining five individuals tied to a fringe pro-Palestinian movement. According to The NY Post, the group had allegedly been preparing to strike multiple sites throughout the region.
Investigators say the threat was “credible” and connected to members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a radical organization known for its extremist ideology. A law enforcement source said the group had moved from rhetoric to operational planning.
Authorities captured four suspects in Lucerne Valley, deep in the Mojave Desert, where they were allegedly experimenting with homemade explosive devices. The fifth suspect was tracked down and arrested in New Orleans during the sweep.
Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the operation in a statement shared publicly, writing, “After an intense investigation, the Department of Justice, working with our @FBI, prevented what would have been a massive and horrific terror plot in the Central District of California (Orange County and Los Angeles).”
Bondi explained the nature of the threat, noting that “The Turtle Island Liberation Front—a far-left, pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group—was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year’s Eve.” She added, “The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles.”
Emphasizing the scale of the effort behind the arrests, Bondi said, “This was an incredible effort by our US Attorneys’ Offices and the @FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice.”

After Feds Arrest Members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, Critics Accuse President Trump of Being A “Turtle-Hating Racist”
After Federal agents captured four members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front who were plotting attacks in the US, critics of President Donald Trump accused the President of being a “Turtle-Hating racist.”
“President Trump is clearly unhappy that these heroic liberators from Turtle Island are trying to liberate the turtles and set them free,” said former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, “so the President has ordered the arrests of these activists whose sole sin is their desire to liberate the Turtles of Turtle Island.”
Meanwhile, Federal agents were seen Monday carting off thousands of waddling Turtles from Turtle Island and deporting them overseas to countries that are known to be turtle-friendly.
“We can not allow these annoying turtles to simply waddle their way around our nation’s beaches with impunity,” said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi during a press briefing on Monday. “I can promise you that President Trump will not rest until every last one of these turtles is deported!”
The US Attorney General went on to issue a warning saying that, “any and all members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front who aid and abet members of the turtle community will be arrested promptly before they can attempt to set off bombs ‘in the name of the turtles!”
