Overview
- Prosecutors allege Jose Alberto Ramirez used personal data taken from ransacked federal vehicles to target an FBI special agent.
- Court filings say IDs, access badges, and documents listing addresses and phone numbers were stolen in January and later posted online.
- Between 10 and 15 FBI personnel reported harassment, including threatening calls, emails, suspicious drive-bys, a firebomb threat, and a message to an agent’s child.
- An affidavit reproduces explicit texts and a voicemail sent to the agent, and investigators traced the messages to a number tied to Ramirez through a 2024 workplace harassment complaint in Schaumburg, Illinois.
- Records cited in court describe Ramirez’s prior termination over threats at work and a criminal history that includes domestic battery, burglary, and mob action, while his attorney says they are seeking his release.
