Motion To Protect Identity Of FBI Informant Filed In High Profile Case
The motion to protect the identity of the undercover informant in the, "Turtle Island Liberation Front," was quietly filed on January 20.
A motion to protect the identity of an FBI informant who allegedly infiltrated a virtually unknown left-wing group was quietly filed today in federal court, according to public records. The group, called the, “Turtle Island Liberation Front,” allegedly conspired to build and detonate bombs around Southern California.
The filing, which appears to have been approved by a judge, states “defendants may see and review CI [confidential informant] Materials only in the presence of defense counsel, and defense counsel shall ensure that defendants are never left alone with any CI Materials” - laying out in 9 pages how none of the defendants - Audrey Ileene Carroll, Zachary Aaron Page, Dante James Anthony-Gaffield, or Tina Lai, may write down or in any way try to record information related to the undercover informant, while participating in their defense.
According to the initial criminal complaint filed against the four, the group “contemplated planting backpacks with “ieds,” around Southern California on New Year’s Eve. The informant has worked with the FBI since mid-2021.
