He was caught.
Federal officials have detained a man from Georgia, Aliakbar Mohammad Amin, on allegations of threatening harm to Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, and her husband, Abraham Williams. Authorities claim that between March 29 and April 1, Amin sent several menacing messages, including explicit threats to their lives. Some of the texts referenced Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested Gabbard’s residence was a valid target for attack. Investigators also discovered disturbing images on Amin’s social media, including one showing a firearm aimed at Gabbard, and found a gun in his possession.
These threats have sparked heightened concerns over the safety of government officials. Tulsi Gabbard’s chief of staff, Alexa Henning, condemned CNN for allegedly sharing Gabbard’s home address despite the ongoing threats. The case has drawn attention to the broader issue of politically driven violence and the dangers faced by public servants.
In a separate incident, a Wisconsin teenager, 17-year-old Nikita Casap, faces charges for killing his mother and stepfather. Authorities say he was also planning to assassinate former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Investigators found a manifesto titled Accelerate the Collapse, which outlined intentions to use explosives and provoke national unrest by targeting high-ranking political figures.
According to prosecutors, Casap’s writings conveyed extremist and racially motivated views. His stated objective was to spark a political uprising to preserve what he believed to be the interests of the white race. Federal prosecutors are reviewing possible charges such as conspiracy, attempted assassination of federal leaders, and use of weapons of mass destruction, highlighting the ongoing risks posed by individuals radicalized by extremist ideologies.
