DOWNTOWN BOISE, Idaho — Tuesday afternoon, Matthew Allison appeared before Judge Candy Dale in federal court.
Arriving to court in handcuffs, Allison was dressed in an ‘Ada County jail’ uniform, attentive when listening to Judge Dale who listed the charges against him.
While in court, prosecutors motioned for detention, as Allison is seen as “both as a risk of flight and as a danger to the safety of others and the community.”
The 37-year-old, Boise man, said to be a part of the 'Terrogram Collective' promoting white supremacist ideology, indicted with 15 charges.

Garland said the, “arrests are a warning that committing hate-fueled crimes in the darkest corners of the internet will not hide you, and soliciting terrorist attacks from behind a screen will not protect you. The United States Department of Justice will find you, and we will hold you accountable."
