Boogalo Bois sentenced for trying to provide weapons to Hamas
Last week's federal sentencing of a former anti-government Boogaloo Bois member brought an end to the latest chapter of politically motivated extremism to encroach on Minnesota two years after it started amid the unrest over the police killing of George Floyd.
U.S. District Judge Michael Davis sentenced Benjamin Ryan Teeter, 24, of Hampstead, N.C., to four years in federal prison for his role in a plot that included attempting to provide weapons to the Hamas terror group in exchange for resources for his Boogaloo Bois.
Teeter is the fourth Boogaloo member to be sentenced in Minnesota, concluding all of the criminal cases filed against the group's adherents to date. Their cases underscore the difficult-to-pin-down nature of a movement whose followers subscribe to a loose ideology, with criminal plots hatched amid racial justice protests and demonstrations in support of former President Donald Trump alike. . . .

Ivan Harrison Hunter
Hunter, the 24-year-old leader of a Texas-based Boogaloo chapter, received 4 1/3 years in prison when he was sentenced in April. He was charged in connection with the riots that followed Floyd's murder and fired a semiautomatic weapon into the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct that was burned during the protests.
