Angelina Han Hicks, an 18-year-old woman from Davidson County, North Carolina, has been arrested for allegedly conspiring to carry out a violent attack on Congregation Beth Israel, the oldest Jewish synagogue in Texas, located in Houston. Hicks faces multiple felony charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, and is currently being held in Davidson County Jail with a bond set at $10 million. The FBI initiated the investigation following a tip from local law enforcement, leading to her arrest and that of a 16-year-old teenager in Harris County, Texas, who has also been charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder. The alleged attack was reportedly scheduled for April 21, 2028, and involved plans to use a vehicle to target members of the congregation during a gathering. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case and have identified additional suspected co-conspirators outside North Carolina. The investigation is particularly concerning in light of a recent violent incident at a synagogue in the Detroit metropolitan area, highlighting ongoing threats to places of worship.
