Overview
- Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, faces one federal count of making threats against the president and successors after posts tied to Vice President J.D. Vance’s July 12, 2025 visit.
- Aguayo was taken into custody Friday and is scheduled for an initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana.
- Investigators say the @jesses_andamy account posted three comments referencing pipe bombs and “bloodshed” around 6:14 p.m. on Disney’s Instagram page.
- Secret Service and Anaheim police linked the account to Aguayo through Meta and Google records, IP data, and searches of his phone and a shared laptop; he later admitted posting and called it a joke.
- DOJ officials condemned the threats; no explosives were found and park operations were not disrupted, and the charge carries a potential sentence of up to five years in prison if convicted.
