Jan. 6 Defendant Rearrested for Threats Against Public Officials

Bradley Nelson, out on bail for Capitol riot charges, detained again for threatening social media posts targeting Justice Barrett, AG Garland, and others.

• Nelson allegedly made threatening posts about Justice Barrett after a Supreme Court decision in June 2024.
• Prosecutors cited images of AG Garland and NY AG Letitia James with crosshairs as part of Nelson's escalating rhetoric.
• A federal judge found sufficient basis for Nelson's detention due to his increasingly confrontational remarks.
• Nelson's trial for nonviolent offenses related to the Jan. 6 riot is set for December 10, 2024.
• Nelson has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is awaiting a revocation hearing to determine his bail status.
