The boogaloo movement is known to law enforcement as a loosely organized American far-right anti-government extremist "militia," and seek to incite a second American Civil War which they call the "boogaloo."
FBI arrested the two men after they contacted a police informant, believing that he was a representative of Hamas in the United States.
