This summer, a San Francisco grand jury indicted two Northern California men, Ian Benjamin Rogers of Napa and Jarrod Copeland of Vallejo, on charges of plotting to blow up the Democratic Party headquarters in Sacramento.
The FBI alleges that the men, one of whom was a member of the “Three Percenters” militia group, wanted to punish Democrats on the basis of bogus claims that President Donald Trump “actually won the presidential election” and that citizens “should ‘go to war’ to ensure he remained in power.”
Rogers and Copeland remain in custody. A status conference in their case is scheduled for Dec. 14.
The indictment and criminal complaint are below.
