This year may have barely begun, but it has already witnessed many threats to President Donald Trump and members of his administration.

Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, and he faced another serious assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida, two months later. The first assassin died in the attempt, and a judge sentenced Ryan Routh, 59, to life in prison plus 84 months last week for the second attempt.
Two events last year highlighted the rise of political violence on the left: the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the comments of Democrat Jay Jones, who now serves as Virginia’s attorney general, wishing for the death of his political opponents. (Jones apologized for the comments after National Review exposed them.)
A judge sentenced Jauan Rashun Porter, 30, to more than three years in prison Tuesday for transmitting threats to kill Trump last summer. Porter allegedly said on TikTok that “there’s only one way to make America great and that is putting a bullet in between Trump’s eyes.”
Earlier this year, defendants have allegedly threatened Trump, key administration officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Here’s the list of arrests so far this year, for threats made both this year and late last year.
1. Threat to JD Vance
Secret Service agents arrested Shannon Mathre, 33, on Friday. A grand jury indicted Mathre on charges of threatening to take the life of a successor to the presidency, namely Vice President JD Vance.
“I am going to find out where he [Vance] is going to be and use my M14 automatic gun and kill him,” Mathre allegedly stated.
“Our attorneys are vigorously prosecuting this disgusting threat against Vice President Vance,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “You can hide behind a screen, but you cannot hide from this Department of Justice.”
2. Vandalizing Vance’s Home
A federal grand jury charged William DeFoor, 26, with damaging government property; engaging in physical violence against a person in a restricted building; and assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers for his invasion of Vance’s home in Cincinnati on Jan. 5.
DeFoor allegedly used a hammer to break glass, ignored repeated warnings to stop, and attempted to flee on foot.
3. Another Vance Threat
Authorities arrested Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, of Anaheim, California, last month for posting death threats on Instagram against Vance during Vance’s visit to Disneyland last year.
4. Threat to Russ Vought
Arlington County police arrested Colin Demarco, 26, on Jan. 22, for attempting to murder Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought.
Demarco went to Vought’s Northern Virginia home on Aug. 10. He faces charges of attempted murder and carrying a firearm without a permit, along with the unlawful wearing of a mask, NBC News reported.
5. Antifa Member Threatening ICE Agents
Authorities arrested Kyle Wagner, 37, on federal threat and cyberstalking charges last week. He allegedly threatened to assault and murder ICE agents. A resident of Minneapolis, Wagner reportedly identified himself with Antifa.
“This man allegedly doxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” Bondi, the attorney general, said.
6. Threats to Federal Agents
Authorities charged Taylor Ryan Prigmore, 30, with threatening to kill federal agents in an indictment handed down last month.
“I am preparing physically and mentally to kill federal agents,” Prigmore allegedly stated in a YouTube video. “Our presidents [sic] needs to die to save lives.”
7. Threats to FBI Director Kash Patel
A grand jury indicted Oklahoma man Jacob Wray Hudson last month on threats against a federal law enforcement officer and interstate communications with threats to injure others.
Muskogee, Oklahoma, police say Hudson yelled about wanting to kill Trump and “the Jews.” According to court documents, Hudson admitted to threatening FBI Director Kash Patel and Patel’s girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, on Instagram. “You’re both gonna be publicly executed for hurting kids,” he posted.
8. Threatening Trump and ICE Agents
A federal grand jury indicted Francisco Jesus Mena, 36, earlier this month on charges of threatening a federal official. Mena, a resident of North Richland Hills, Texas, allegedly threatened to assault and murder Trump and unnamed ICE agents. If convicted, he faces up to 96 years in prison.
9. Threatening Trump on Shotgun Shells
Police in Portland, Oregon, shot and killed a man who had written Trump’s name on shotgun shells and who had falsely identified himself as a Secret Service officer before pulling out a gun at a Safeway location. Police said the man pulled the trigger at Safeway, but the gun did not fire.
“Because of the U.S. Secret Service angel, the fact that he was impersonating an agent, the fact that there was a potential threat to the president … that prompted them to bring in the Secret Service as part of the investigation,” a Portland Police Bureau spokesperson said.
10. Threatening to Kill ICE Agents
West Virginia State Police arrested Cody Smith, 20, last month after he allegedly “posted videos of himself” saying he was “going to attack and kill ICE agents” in calls to the Department of Homeland Security.
Deputies said Smith “made threats to the president of the United States” and posted that he “intended to ‘murder’ Trump supporters” and “service members willing to ‘bootlick,’” according to a criminal complaint.

All politicians and media people who continue to incite this evil with their words and actions need to be held accountable. Free speech does not give them the right to incite others to do evil. They are not god and should not be exempt from the laws that we the people follow. Their evil intentions are seen by God and they will face God’s judgement. Repent, change your ways, and seek God’s forgiveness. I trust in God.
🙏😇🙏❤️
Dear Father God,
Thank you for supernaturally shutting the mouths of the lying news media who spew hatred and deception into the brains and hearts of unsuspecting citizens. Their nasty rhetoric is dangerous beyond belief. Thank you for intervening in the earth’s atmosphere to put a restraint on these demonic forces who have invaded our world. I pray for more children to be released from trafficking and peoples who are under tyranny in many countries. Thank you for protecting President Trump, all of his cabinet, their families, BB Netanyahu, The IDF and their families from all evil and lies. May the God of all Hope bring us out of this nightmare. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Don’t think the democrats are not chomping at the bit, hoping upon hope that Trump is murdered. The spirit of murder was loosed on the nation in 1973 with the lunatic Supreme Court decision on Roe vs. Wade. And once opened, that Pandora’s Box hasn’t really closed. The left has become incapable of rational thought. Every psychopath now can claim to be righteous and, since Trump must be Hitler like the democrats say, anything is justified. Hundreds of thousands of missing children trafficked into the country by Biden? Doesn’t matter. Kids being butchered by sociopathic “doctors”? Doesn’t matter. Unborn being slaughtered by the millions? Doesn’t matter. Terrorists and other violent criminals being allowed into the country by the thousands? Doesn’t matter. Mass brainwashing, as applied in Germany in the 1930’s is being applied relentlessly, seducing the left and encouraging hatred toward anyone who disagrees.
So of course the lefties hate Trump. At the very least it gives a kind of meaning
To otherwise pointless lives.
brainwashing is well under way
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the LORD has made them both. Proverbs 20:12 Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of hearing and seeing, both in the Spirit realm and here on earth. Let these gifts from You be employed for the safety and direction of President Trump and this administration. Strengthen these attributes in the security teams who provide the necessary service. Place favor on and sound judgment over all agencies, staff and offices assigned to establish and maintain law. We desire to be obedient to You, therefore let the spirit of rebellion cease and not be worshipped. In the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.
For some strange reason, Trump has brought to the surface the vicious insanity that has been held in trust for certain individuals for years. There is an odd lack of rationality in groups like antifa, blm, the pro-illegal immigrant crowd…in fact in the left in general. It goes like this. Child rapists allowed to enter the country illegally by Biden and have court orders for deportation should be allowed to clog up the judicial system endlessly. No proof of citizenship should be required to vote, Mentally ill individuals should have access to young children and groom them into perversion. The list goes on. The problem is actually spiritual and as Paul earned, these crackpots not only take part in perverted thinking and behavior, they give hearty approval to others who do likewise. Good is evil, evil is good. We are seeing the results of the move to world government through the actions of common night walkers in government (mostly democrats) and business (the NFL showcasing that freak show during the Super Bowl comes to mind). It comes down to money. Abortion is big business. Mutilation of minors is big business. Medicare theft is huge business. The country and its institutions are being
put up for sale. To those on the left who advocate destructive policies listed above…the people making the money don’t think you are compassionate the you do. They do not confuse your weakness for kindness. They know better.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 KJV) Today we say it this way: “What goes around, comes around.” They can dish it out, but they cannot take it. No one is perfect. We act like this present administration walks on water. No! Left, and right? Jesus says, ” Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV). Left or right, they are off course.
I find it interesting that these people are arrested, and rightfully so, yet the Democrats in congress can spew their vile rhetoric and they are free to do so with no consequences.
Yes, members of Congress need to tone way down their rhetoric! They are not helping but making matters worse!
As intercessors we pray for our King, the Captain of Heaven’s army, to arm us with His authority and strength as we pray for His word to guard and guide believers in this spiritual warfare.
We know God’s Word has assured us “no weapon formed against us can succeed.” We also know God told Jeremiah to intercede in prayer and perseverance for God’s enemies to be “uprooted, torn down, destroyed, overthrown” that He may “plant and build” His righteousness and usher His kingdom to be established “on earth as it is in heaven.”
May God provide protection and inspired counsel to the righteous leaders He has given us in this move of revival on earth.
Lord Jesus, I pray that You will place a hedge of protection around ALL people who are a part of the Trump administration. I also bind the spirit of violence that satan has imposed upon our society. I loose a spirit of moral restraint and peacefulness in our nation. There is NO place in our society for this type of behavior. Lord Jesus, I thank You that you are in control of our nation, and pray for a return to peaceful American values. Thank You Jesus.
