Sentencing scheduled for 'Boogaloo Bois' member who pleaded guilty to weapons plot

MINNEAPOLIS — Sentencing is Thursday for a member of the Boogaloo Bois extremist group who has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with a plot to leverage street unrest after the 2020 police killing of George Floyd in hopes of raising money for its anti-government movement.

Michael Robert Solomon, 32, of New Brighton, admitted in May 2021 to selling silencers and other firearm components in 2020 to people he believed were members of the Hamas terror group but who turned out to be FBI informants.

Solomon was one of four men charged since September 2020 to have been identified as members of the Boogaloo Bois, an armed anti-government group that rose in prominence amid the 2020 protests over COVID-19 shutdowns and police brutality.
