Albuquerque Man Charged in Politically Motivated Arson Attacks

Jamison Wagner faces federal charges for arson attacks on a Tesla showroom and New Mexico Republican Party headquarters, with investigators labeling the incidents as domestic terrorism.

Jamison Wagner, 40, has been charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives following arson attacks in Albuquerque.
The February 9 attack on a Tesla showroom involved improvised napalm devices and graffiti targeting Tesla CEO Elon Musk, while the March 30 attack on the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters caused significant property damage.
Investigators linked Wagner to the crimes through surveillance footage, forensic evidence, and the identification of his white 2015 Hyundai Accent at both scenes.
A search of Wagner's residence uncovered incendiary devices, materials for homemade napalm, and stencils matching the graffiti found at the crime scenes.
Federal authorities have condemned the attacks as politically motivated domestic terrorism and emphasized their commitment to prosecuting such acts to the fullest extent of the law.
