3 men sentenced for racist conspiracy plot to destroy Northwest power grid

Three men were sentenced to prison for their roles in plotting to attack an energy facility to further their “violent white supremacist ideology,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement Friday.
Federal officials did not identify the specific location of the facility but court documents say agents seized a handwritten list of about a dozen locations in Idaho and surrounding states that contained “a transformer, substation, or other component of the power grid for the Northwest United States.”
“As part a self-described ‘modern day SS,’ these defendants conspired, prepared, and trained to attack America’s power grid in order to advance their violent white supremacist ideology,” said Garland said.
