An Idaho man accused of running a transnational terrorist organization will be heading across state lines for his trial.

Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho, was arrested in downtown Boise on September 6 and indicted by a grand jury in the California district.

The suspect was allegedly wearing a backpack that carried a gun, ammunition, zip ties, duct tape, a lockpicking kit, and several other items when he was arrested, according to Idaho Statesman.

He was also found with a "go bag" in his apartment that contained a passport, a large sum of money, and items indicating he planned to flee the country.

Hunter, from California, faces the same 15 felony charges Allison does.

Both are accused of leading the "Terrorgram Collective," a network of white supremacists using the social media site Telegram to incite terrorist attacks and instigate a "race war."

The duo is charged with conspiracy, solicitation of a hate crime, solicitation of the murder of a federal official, and distribution of bomb-making devices, among several others.

The 37-year-old admitted to the crimes following his arrest.

Allison made his first appearance in an Idaho federal courtroom last week and was due to appear in a Sacramento court; however, the motion for detention hearing scheduled for today has since been vacated.

Humber pleaded not guilty after her arrest.
