Puerto Rican Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill President Donald Trump

 

A Puerto Rican man was arrested for threatening to kill President Donald Trump, American officials said.

A criminal complaint filed against Migdoel Cruz-Ruiz on Jan. 16 said that he was in violation of U.S. Code Section 871, U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez said in a statement.

The affidavit in support of the complaint stated that Cruz-Ruiz, no age given, contacted the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center by telephone.

He then made threats to kill President Trump and destroy Newark, Boston, Colorado, and the White House “very soon.”

He said he planned to kill Trump and destroy the places in vengeance for things the United States did to the people of Pakistan, India, and Iran.

“Federal authorities will continue to prosecute those who use means of communication to threaten, promote, or incite violent acts,” said Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, in a statement.

If convicted, Cruz-Ruiz faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison with supervised release up to three years, and a fine of $250,000.

MEDIA ADVISORY – Release of statements for arrest of Hasher Taheb

The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia and the Special Agent in Charge Chris Hacker of the FBI Atlanta Field Office have released the following statements in regards to the arrest of Hasher Taheb:

 

U.S. Attorney Pak:

 

“Investigating and prosecuting individuals who seek to cause mass casualties is law enforcement’s top priority. Today, the Joint Terrorism Task Force partners, led by the FBI, arrested Hasher Taheb, 21, of Cumming, Georgia after a thorough investigation into his plans to attack federal buildings. As articulated in the affidavit supporting the complaint, his alleged intent was to attack the White House and other targets of opportunity in the Washington DC area. Mr. Taheb has been charged with violating Title 18USC 844(f)(1) – attempt to damage by means of an explosive any building owned, possessed, or leased by the United States or any department or agency thereof, or any institution or organization receiving federal financial assistance. The JTTF initiated the case after receiving a tip from the community. Because the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and numerous Federal, state and LE partners are active participants in the JTTF, all potential threats have been neutralized and under control from the inception of this case. Again, I want to clarify that there were no threats posed to any targets located in Northern District of Georgia, nor was the upcoming Super Bowl a target of his alleged activity,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak.

 

FBI Statement:

 

"It is important to point out that this investigation and arrest were the direct result of a tip from the community, another example of how important it is to contact law enforcement if you see or hear something suspicious," said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. "Taheb is charged as the result of a year-long investigation by FBI Atlanta's Joint Terrorism Task Force. We want to thank the Forsyth County Sheriff Office and Gwinnett County Police Department for assisting us with his arrest. The investigation is continuing, but at this stage it is believed Taheb was acting on his own."
