An alleged mass murder plot is no reason for the trans neo-Nazi accused to not be getting gender affirming hormone shots, an Illinois judge has ruled.

Alexandros Paporakis, 19, was ordered held without bail for allegedly plotting a racist-driven massacre at a Hindu temple in the Chicago area.

But despite ordering that Paporakis be kept caged until his trial, a Cook County judge added the caveat that he will get his hormone injections, NBC Chicago reports. The wannabe terrorist is also being treated for ADHD, depression, and anxiety, the judge revealed.

‘A sociopathic white supremacist’

A Taco Bell cashier from suburban Palatine, he allegedly described himself in his twisted manifesto as “a sociopathic white supremacist Neo Nazi filled with hatred, fantasizing about mass murder nearly every day.”

His hate-filled missive was entitled:  “Why I Fought: A.K.A.: (Aurora Shooter’s Manifesto).”

Paporakis was arrested Sunday after cops learned of the alleged massacre plot. Investigators said he was targeting the largest Hindu temple in suburban Aurora and that he had been scouting in his car outside the place of worship.

“This hateful rhetoric has exploded online. It’s on social media everywhere,” U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi told the Chicago Sun-Times. “You know, two weeks ago, a Florida elected official called for me to be deported and told me to take my curry and go home.”

An arsenal of weaponry and ammo

Paporakis’s home allegedly offered up a treasure trove of evidence, including an AR-15 rifle sans serial number, a large cache of ammunition, a gas canister labelled with a slur aimed at South Asians, and items juiced with Nazi symbolism.

Concerned co-workers tipped off police about the disturbing messages Paporakis was sending. One message included a document outlining his sickening scheme and included snapshots of tactical gear.

According to cops, Paporakis couldn’t wait to murder Indian people and proudly identified as a white supremacist. His so-called manifesto slammed Jews, Indians and Blacks as “subhumans,” and the plan was to murder as many of them as possible.

He faces felony charges of making a terrorist threat and unlawfully possessing weapons. He’s back in court on Oct. 30.

Meanwhile, a California judge has agreed to combine a member of the Zizian cult’s latest escape attempt with their existing case. The group is suspected in at least half a dozen homicides from Vermont to California.

The most notorious incident was the murder of a member of the U.S. Border Patrol in a shootout in Vermont, south of the Canadian border.

In Cali, cops say Alexander Jeffrey Leatham has tried to escape from a county jail three times. Leatham is charged with the 2022 attempted murder of landlord Curtis Lind, and is involved with the anti-AI radicals.

Co-defendant Suri Dao is also charged with attempted murder and is a member of the group.

Leatham — like many of the Zizians — identifies as a transgender woman and has been prone to emotional courtroom outbursts. When their lawyer attempted to enter a “not guilty” plea, Leatham got their knickers in a knot.

“If anyone enters any plea on my behalf at all, they are saying something false,” they shouted, adding that their four years in the slammer have caused them to “forcibly detransition.”

A trail of murders

According to cops, landlord  Lind suffered a fractured skull and was stabbed in the chest with a samurai sword. Lind shot and killed another Zizian member, Emma Borhanian, and wounded Leatham during the incident.

Leatham and Dao are both charged with Borhanian’s murder and aggravated mayhem.

The Zizians are a group of fanatics driven by radical veganism and a belief that AI threatens humanity. Members follow blogger Jack “Ziz” LaSota, a 35-year-old transgender woman who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2016.

In August 2022, LaSota faked their death and disappeared. They were arrested in Maryland in February 2025 on trespassing and handgun possession charges.

Fellow Zizian Maximilian Snyder is accused of fatally stabbing Lind in Vallejo on Jan. 17, 2025, before Lind was scheduled to testify in Dao and Leatham’s case. Snyder has pleaded not guilty.

Leatham’s trial is slated for January.
