Cincinnati man arrested for alleged threats against ICE agents and federal official
A Cincinnati man has been arrested on federal charges for allegedly making terroristic threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and a federal official, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement on Saturday.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS, said Anthony Kelly is facing charges for allegedly threatening to kidnap, assault, and murder a U.S. official. He was listed at being arrested at 12:13 p.m. and was being held in Butler County Jail. Those charges online are listed as, "HOLD FOR FED."
"Thank you to our law enforcement," McLaughlin said in a post on X. "These threats will not be tolerated. You will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
McLaughlin's post included photos of social media posts from an account allegedly connected to Kelly that threatened to shoot and kill ICE agents. "You come here for me, you're getting shot. I'm shooting for the kill. I won't give a f--- about your names, who you are or anything else," reads a post on X about ICE officials.
Another post included a response about DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. "The shotgun is being bought later on this week you're also invited b-----."
The user was apparently referring to ICE agents in a post when replying on X about Tom Homan, Trump's border czar. "Thanks for giving We The People permission to shoot "
During a search of Kelly's home in Cincinnati, authorities found one gun and ammunition, McLaughlin said.
