A 25-year-old man was taken into custody in Michigan on Tuesday morning for allegedly threatening to carry out a violent attack if former President Donald Trump is reelected.
Isaac Sissel reportedly sent a threatening message to the FBI National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia, stating, “I shall carry out an attack against conservative Christian filth in the event Trump wins the election.”
In the message, he claimed to possess a stolen AR-15 rifle and indicated he had a target but did not disclose any specifics to avoid detection. “Without a specific victim or the ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack,” he added.
Sissel is scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court later today.
