On Tuesday, two New Jersey brothers were arrested on charges tied to terroristic threats against DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
The twin brothers, Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores, also allegedly threatened to “shoot ICE agents on sight.”
Per Fox News:
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores, twins from Absecon, New Jersey, next to Atlantic City; were arrested after allegedly posting to X that they wanted to torture and kill McLaughlin in a medieval fashion.
“[The Second] Amendment is in place for moments like this. Shoot ICE on sight,” one of the brothers allegedly tweeted in a partially redacted response to a McLaughlin message: ‘We Americans should find you, tar you, feather you, and hang you as we did to anyone serving tyrants before the Revolutionary War.’”
The brothers were arrested by DHS and the Abescon Police Department SWAT Team.

“Let this be a warning to anyone who dares threaten or attack our brave law enforcement officers,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
“We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. We are NOT afraid of you. The extreme rhetoric of the news media, sanctuary politicians, and activists is leading directly to our law enforcement officers facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them.”
“If you threaten our law enforcement or DHS officials, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
