The FBI arrested an 18-year-old woman in North Carolina and a 16-year-old in Texas for allegedly plotting to attack Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Houston, TX, the oldest Jewish Congregation in Texas.
The court documents accuse Angelina Han Hicks of conspiring with two people identified as “Teegan” and “Angel” to attack the synagogue on April 21, 2028.
“The conspiracy is to kill as many jews as possible by driving through a congregation at a synagogue,” according to the court order.
Judge Carlton Terry demanded Hicks remain detained “to prevent communication or access to communication which is likely to place lives at risk.”
Hicks faces two counts of felony conspiracy: murder, criminal homicide and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
The court documents said officials have not arrested anyone else, but a few hours later, reports came out about the arrest of a juvenile in Houston:
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that a juvenile female had been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder.In a statement, the Houston Police Department said a 16-year-old was arrested after an investigation conducted with the FBI’s Houston office and the Alief ISD Police Department.
“This is not just a synagogue. This is a school with little children,” Houston City Council member Abbie Kamin told The Houston Chronicle. “Jewish communities throughout this state and around this country have to spend more in a single month on security than other community organizations spend in an entire year. The antisemitism, the threats, are nothing new, but they are increasing at an unfathomable rate.”
Hicks’s father, Dannie Hicks, decided to deflect blame elsewhere and make excuses for his daughter.
“It’s ludicrous. It’s a fantasy game,” he said. “And that’s the way she looked at it — as a fantasy game online.”Dannie Hicks questioned whether his daughter had the means to carry out any attack, noting she does not drive, does not own a car and has never fired a gun.”It’s nuts what (investigators) done to her,” he said. “They’ve ruined her whole life and ours over this.”Dannie said Angelina lived at home with him and her mother and was days away from graduating from Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy in Davidson County. He said she was also taking courses at Davidson-Davie Community College through a dual-enrollment program.He described his daughter as a kind, quiet young woman who had been bullied at school and enjoyed playing games on platforms like Roblox.”She ain’t no problem to nobody,” he said. “She’s never created a problem for anybody.”
Good Lord, dude. No wonder these generations are soft and weak. Their parents refuse to force them to take responsibility for their actions. It’s never their child’s fault. It’s always someone or something else.
Their plan sounds similar to the attack on Temple Israel near Detroit, MI, in March.
Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a Lebanese national, rammed his car through the doors of Temple Israel and drove down the hall.
The sheriff said Ghazali drove “with purpose down the hall.”
