United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced a four-count superseding indictment charging MICHAEL ROBERT SOLOMON, 30, and BENJAMIN RYAN TEETER, 22, with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization (Hamas) and firearms violations. SOLOMON and TEETER, who were initially charged via federal criminal complaint on September 3, 2020, will be arraigned before a Magistrate Judge in U.S. District Court at a later date. SOLOMON and TEETER have been ordered to remain in detention pending further proceedings.
According to the superseding indictment and documents filed with the court, in late May of 2020, the FBI initiated an investigation into SOLOMON and TEETER, two members of the “Boogaloo Bois,” and a sub-group called the “Boojahideen.” The Boogaloo Bois are a loosely- connected group of individuals who espouse violent anti-government sentiments. The term “Boogaloo” itself references an impending second civil war in the United States and is associated with violent uprisings against the government.
According to the superseding indictment and documents filed with the court, during the civil unrest in the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd, according to a witness, SOLOMON was openly carrying a firearm in a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis. SOLOMON and TEETER interacted with the witness over the course of several days. The witness told FBI agents that SOLOMON and TEETER possessed firearms and substantial quantities of ammunition and that SOLOMON, TEETER, and other members of the Boogaloo Bois and Boojahideen discussed committing acts of violence against police officers and other targets in furtherance of the Boojahideen’s stated goal of overthrowing the government and replacing its police forces.
According to the superseding indictment and documents filed with the court, in early June, the FBI received information about SOLOMON, TEETER, and other members of the Boogaloo Bois and the Boojahideen through a confidential human source (“CHS”), whom the defendants believed to be a member of Hamas. In audio-recorded conversations, SOLOMON and TEETER expressed that Hamas shares anti-U.S. government views that align with their own views. SOLOMON and TEETER also expressed their desire to employ themselves as “mercenaries” for Hamas as a means to generate cash for the Boogaloo Bois/Boojahideen movement, including funding for recruitment and purchasing land for a training compound.
According to the superseding indictment and documents filed with the court, SOLOMON and TEETER shared with the CHS, and another individual whom they believed to be a more senior member of Hamas (and who was actually an undercover employee of the FBI), their ideas about destroying government monuments, raiding the headquarters of a white supremacist organization in North Carolina, and targeting politicians and members of the media.
According to the superseding indictment and documents filed with the court, SOLOMON and TEETER also expressed their ability to manufacture unmarked parts for guns and create unregistered and untraceable weapons, including suppressors. On July 30, SOLOMON and TEETER delivered to the individual they believed to be a senior member of Hamas five suppressors and expressed their desire to manufacture additional suppressors and fully-automatic weapons for Hamas. SOLOMON and TEETER later negotiated with the individual a price of $1,800 for five additional suppressors. SOLOMON and TEETER also delivered to the individual a “drop in auto sear” (“DIAS”), a part designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically. SOLOMON and TEETER believed the suppressors and the DIAS would be used by Hamas overseas to attack Israeli and U.S soldiers. Under federal law, suppressors must be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. On August 29, 2020. SOLOLMON and TEETER knowingly possessed a device which converts a semi-automatic rifle into an illegal machine gun.
In a separate, related case, IVAN HUNTER, 26, was indicted by a grand jury on November 4, 2020, on one count of riot. HUNTER, who was initially charged via federal criminal complaint on October 23, 2020, will be arraigned before a Magistrate Judge in U.S. District Court at a later date. HUNTER has been ordered to remain in detention pending further proceedings.
These cases are the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew R. Winter, and Trial Attorneys George Kraehe and Phil Viti of the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the cases.
These cases fall with the purview of the Attorney General’s Task Force to Combat Violent Anti-Government Extremism. Launched in June 2020, the Task Force is dedicated to supporting the investigation and prosecution of any person or group who commits violence in the name of an anarchist ideology.
The charges contained in the indictments are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Quit spamming the forum!
How about election fraud to take control of the nuclear weapons stockpile of the United States?
That’s what Biden and the Democrat party just did.
Kinda eclipses a bunch of small timers like this.
Posting too much from Department of Justice? Okay.

That’s why Trump will never concede and will instead prove the election is stolen.
But the public has to get a look at the evidence and the DOJ has to keep their own investigative work out of the hands of the traitors still remaining in the DOJ/FBI so we’re not hearing about the coup investigation right now.
Now that Flynn is pardoned he is no longer under a gag order. These DOJ cases I’ve been posting today include many that seem intended to drain the Deep State’s street thugs/militias for intimidating, rioting and mayhem when Trump is declared the winner.
There is ample reason to take heart. Perhaps this fleshes out the strategy taking place a bit better than I can (a post from elsewhere on FR)
“Yes. And it has occurred to me that we are watching as a bunch of crooked judges are being allowed to expose their treason, the violation of their oath, right out in front of God and everybody.
Those state and federal judges, along with the crooked governors, secretaries of state, election officials, and other such, elected or appointed, had to take that same oath to “protect and defend the US Constitution”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It does seem to be part of Trump’s continuing strategy.
If he didn’t draw traitors out (judges, congressmen, military) out into the open first, then the screams for patriots to rise and fight president trump, along with Pelosi’s screams for UN troops to activate in the US would be sincere when Trump moved against American traitors.
Otherwise, all the public would hear from the MSM, international heads of state, and American officials was that Trump abruptly arrested judges, lawyers, congressmen, charitable organization heads, CEO’s, Bankers, entertainers etc. to protect himself in a standard overthrow of a nation into dictatorship. Oh, and he couldn’t tell us the reasons for that series of actions because it would be a threat to national security.
Since his strategy has been to drive them to expose themselves while at the same time maximize public safety, I believe they are draining as much as possible now before it becomes “necessary” to arrest certain strategic groups at once. Lots of arrests of gangs in DOJ right now; the DS militias.”
Yeah it's a twisted group.. "right wing" no only in the imagination of the FBI and the left
Hamas is not anti-government
How far have we fallen now that White Supremacists support Hamas!?
Bugger off
Sounds Jewish to me.
MICHAEL ROBERT
Sounds less so. Maybe deep cover?
Hamas ? Well, isn’t that interesting.
First time I saw this, glad I did, given that the Democrat press was trying to associate these losers with Trump supporters... and didn’t mention Hamas.
“Boogaloo Bois”
I thought they were talking about that Vegan toilet paper.
Bim Bam Boo
First of all there is an unholy alliance between the white supremacist groups such as the Boogaloo Boys and The Base and the BLM/Antifa combine. Both are anti-Israel. The former has been providing combat arms training to the latter.
Second, it does not surprise me that the Deep State is working with two apparently opposed groups. Similar schemes have occurred before, one being in Northern Ireland, where the KGB had operatives in both the IRA and the Ulsterman. Why, you may ask. Simple. Just to cause strife for what was then the United States greatest ally in NATO.
Why do you think Syrians (ba'ath party) are white supremacist? Many of their members that I personally have talked to on line has told me who they are on bitchute. Yes there has been skin head types that have been attacked to this group. But the base are Ba'ath party (National socialist Muslims.) which most of them doesn't live in the US.
Though think of how twisted a skin head type that allies with Islam and national socialists. They've got to be doing a ton of drugs to slip in that none sense. If you watched their video's they're bazaar in a drug induced kind of way.
Northern Ireland and KGB are both hard leftest ideology. Remember the Irish during WWII sided with the National socialists helping supply U boats and other things when they could.
I wouldn’t use bamboo on my bunghole
The “skinheads” and Hamas have one thing in common - a hatred of Israel. Even David Duke and Holocaust denier “Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Preacher” Steven Anderson have gone to Dearborn to proclaim alliance with the radical Muslim community there.
We need to set some understandings here. If there is anything you're not clear on please ask.
They have far more then one thing in common.
First: you agree the Ba'ath party was formed by the concepts of WWII German National socialists? Correct?
Second: Skin heads often think of themselves as are Neo-nazi. Correct?
National socialists or Noso(Nazi) are CLEARLY left wing. Correct?
Ba'ath and Hamas both being Sunni have an alliance through the Muslim Brotherhood? Correct?
Hopefully if we agree/understand this we can understand one another easier.
