Mike Baker sits down with retired FBI operative Eric O’Neill to break down a newly foiled domestic terror plot tied to the so-called “Turtle Island Liberation Front.” Federal authorities say the group planned to detonate pipe bombs on New Year’s Eve in Southern California—but who are they, what do they believe, and how serious was the threat?
