Overview
- A federal indictment unsealed Sept. 5 charges Watson, 28, of Kennesaw, Georgia, with arson and destruction of government property in the Atlanta ICE case.
- Officials say he uses the names Sarah Watson, Miranda Kyle and Emily Smith; he remains at large as the FBI offers up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest.
- According to court filings, masked vandals breached fences on July 25, 2020 and used rocks, cinder blocks, modified fireworks and Molotov cocktails, causing more than $78,000 in damage.
- Inside the building, investigators found blood near a broken window and a lighter fluid bottle beside an unexploded Molotov cocktail.
- Authorities say Watson was identified using evidence linked to his 2023 Oregon felony case and prior anti-ICE social-media posts, and the FBI advisory says he may be disguising his appearance, possibly dressing in women’s clothing, and should be considered armed and dangerous.
