Tennessee Man's Alleged Border Attack Plot Exposed by FBI Arrest

TL;DR Summary
Paul Faye, a Tennessee man, has been arrested on a charge of possessing an unregistered firearm or silencer after an undercover FBI investigation into far-right militia movements. His son claims that Faye is a compulsive liar and did not intend to harm anyone, despite allegedly expressing a desire to act as a sniper at the southern border. The FBI's handling of domestic terrorism has been criticized amid rising right-wing extremism, and Faye's son believes his father was instigated by the undercover agents. Faye faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted.
