This could be the most brazen request ever made in a courtroom! In the western Kansas town of Garden City, three men were arrested in October 2016, charged with plotting to bomb a mosque and an apartment complex because it housed Somali refugees. Terrorist behavior.

In an attempt to get the three men excused from all charges, the defense attorney is trying a new strategy. He has asked the judge to allow him to stack the jury pool with people from a more rural part of the state where people are “more likely to have voted for President Donald Trump.”

The men, Curtis Wayne Allen, 49; Patrick Eugene Stein, 47; and Gavin Wayne Wright, 49, are being charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy against civil rights. Because their plot was foiled after an eight-month-long FBI investigation, they didn’t actually get to blow anything up or kill anyone.
