A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to 19 years in federal prison for plotting to blow up a Colorado synagogue in an act of domestic terrorism, the Department of Justice announced on Friday.

According to the DOJ, the man, whose name has been withheld per Daily Wire policy, told undercover FBI agents that he wanted to get Temple Emanuel Synagogue in Pueblo, Colorado, “off the map” and coordinated with undercover agents to obtain explosives. During a meeting with undercover agents on November 1, 2019, the man obtained “inert” explosives, which he said he planned to use on the temple within hours.
