As of today (June 16), authorities have 5 people in custody out of a broader network of ~23 identified in encrypted Signal chats.
Full identities aren't all released (standard for ongoing cases), but court records and reporting have named some:
Tycen Proper, 19, from Knox County, Ohio (Cincinnati area). He was the first arrested after the FBI got the initial tip on June 10. Facing multiple felony charges.

The others (from states including Missouri) haven't been publicly named yet. The group was described as anti-capitalist extremists discussing targets like "capitalist elites," billionaires, and politicians tied to AIPAC/pro-Israel donations. Chats allegedly included targeting specific members of Congress. 😳

This is still breaking/developing — more details (and likely more names) will probably drop as charges are unsealed. The FBI and DOJ are keeping it tight while the investigation continues.🍿😎
