The Daily Caller News Foundation could not reach an attorney for Coleman. He is being held on $400,000 bond, according to jail records.
Coleman began his violent rants against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in January after news broke that federal law enforcement shot two people in Portland, police allege.
“im sick and tired of it i’ve been preparing for a while now,” Coleman allegedly wrote to a friend, Columbia County Spotlight reported. “But i gotta get on it im done just standing around im gonna get my hands on a firearm and i will actively kill any ice agents i see killing or kidnapping civilians.”
One friend’s father whom he allegedly intended to target is a security guard at the Portland ICE building, KATU2 reported.
The teen’s plot allegedly included bringing severed ICE agents’ heads to the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, which hosts several tribes, and creating a new rebel country called the Cascadia Rangers Coalition, KATU 2 reported. Police said he began creating homemade bombs called Molotov cocktails in furtherance of his goals.
Coleman’s friends tried to talk him out of the plot before turning to the police, KATU 2 reported.
“I think you are too good and important of a person to get locked up,” a roommate told Coleman, court documents reportedly say.
