A man from St. Paul, Minnesota, has been charged with posting a TikTok video that offered a reward for the murder of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The individual, named Tyler Maxson Avalos, reportedly shared a photo of Bondi with a caption that stated, “Wanted: Pam Bondi — Reward: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE.” This was reported on Monday.
The post seemingly included a sniper scope dot overlaying Bondi’s image.
According to reports, Avalos also added a chilling remark to the post: “Cough cough. What if the service is not provided?”
A federal investigation began after another TikTok user brought the concerning post to the attention of authorities. Avalos was arrested at his apartment on Thursday and now faces federal charges.
Avalos has a troubling criminal history that includes convictions for stalking and domestic violence.
“Investigators found that his TikTok account featured anarchist symbols and links to anti-government texts. Court documents noted that his profile included a link to an ‘anarchist FAQ book,'” according to sources.
Ty Cobb, a former White House special counsel and a critic of former President Trump, previously referred to Bondi as the most “reprehensible” person to hold her position. However, she has collaborated with law enforcement to tackle crime nationwide.
Recent statistics shared by Bondi indicated that these crime-fighting efforts have led to noteworthy improvements.
Bondi has also cautioned Democratic leaders who have threatened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, as reported recently.
“The federal government’s unified response is due to significant Democratic resistance against deporting millions of undocumented immigrants,” the news outlet stated.
“Progressive Democrats advocate for immigration reform, as they struggle to acknowledge the key differences between citizens and economic immigrants. This stance is often bolstered by local business groups that rely on immigrants for affordable services like food delivery, which are vital to their high-income customer base and Democratic supporters.”
