North Carolina teen indicted for San Diego mosque shooting for livestreaming and aiding attackers

A 17-year-old Forsyth County girl, Sarah Lindsey Santiago, has been indicted on three counts of murder and a conspiracy charge for recording a livestream of the May 18 attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego, distributing the footage, and releasing a document written by the attackers; prosecutors say she also bought a white-supremacist patch and sent it to a gunman to wear. The attackers killed a mosque guard and two others before dying, and investigators say they planned further attacks on other targets; under North Carolina law, aiding and abetting carries the same penalties as if the acts were committed.

Two white supremacist attackers killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego and then died by self-inflicted gunshots. One attacker, Caleb Vazquez, had previously been flagged by the FBI as a potential threat, and authorities had seized firearms from his father a year earlier due to concerns over Nazism and mass‑shooting admiration; investigators say the attackers were radicalized online, and a large cache of weapons was found in the home amid a broader pattern of hate.

Texas Speaker Dade Phelan Takes Action Against PAC Leader Hosting White Supremacist

The leader of a major conservative PAC, Jonathan Stickland, faced condemnation after it was revealed that he hosted white supremacist Nick Fuentes at his office for several hours.

Law Enforcement's Growing Concern: Far-Right Violence as Top Domestic Terrorism Threat

Far-right violence, including groups like the Proud Boys, is a growing threat and the top domestic terrorism concern for U.S. law enforcement. The recent sentencing of Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, highlights the intent and planning behind the January 6 insurrection. However, experts warn that these sentences alone will not stop the recruitment and belief in extremist ideologies. The trend of domestic terrorism arrests and threats against public officials continues to rise, indicating a pervasive problem that requires societal intervention and a rejection of violence and rhetoric. The broader white power movement, including other groups like the Oath Keepers and Two Percenters, as well as underground organizations, pose an ongoing threat that cannot be underestimated.
