Investigators allege the group was led by Abraham Alvarez, 31, of Omaha.
They all face two charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on federal government territory and to murder a federal government official.
If they are convicted, they face life in prison.
“The allegations in this indictment show these men were not simply airing grievances from behind their keyboards and sharing like-minded political ideologies; rather, they took action to carry out a plot to carry out an attack on the ‘UFC Freedom 250’ event and to murder federal officials,” said Ohio U.S. Attorney Dominick S. Gerace II.
