The Georgia man faces federal accusations after sending a series of indifferent text messages that threaten the lives of President Trump’s spy chief Tarsi Gabbard and her husband.
Aliakbar Mohammad Amin, 24, of Lilburn, Georgia, was arrested Friday and accused of committing a threat to the National Intelligence Director in numerous messages to her husband, Abraham Williams, federal prosecutors said Monday.
“Prepare for you, Tarshi and everyone you cherish, to die. America is burning,” according to a court application, one of the texts is a text that is supposed to be read.
Other dispatches from Amin are said to have read, “You and your family will die soon” and “I will work personally if necessary.”
In yet another message, Amin is said to have told Williams:
The message was sent between March 29th and April 1st, the Fed claimed.
Amin also allegedly posted threats to former Hawaiian lawmakers on social media.
Prosecutors said federal agents later recovered the gun while searching for Amin’s home.
Amin received an order held pending trial following his initial court appearance. He faces up to five years in prison for taunting an interstate threat or sending an injury.
“Thank you to @FBI, @usmarshalshq and local law enforcement, thank you for your service and dedication and arrest this radical and dangerous criminal who repeatedly threatened the lives of me, my family, @Realdonaldtrump,” Gabbard wrote in X’s post following Amin’s Friday arrest.
“I appreciate your tireless work every day, keeping the people of America safe.”
“The FBI considers all threatening communications to be serious federal crimes. We will employ all investigative tools and resources available to identify those responsible and to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“This arrest serves as a clear warning. If you are engaged in this type of criminal activity, you will be caught and go to prison.”
