Overview

• The FBI arrested 19-year-old Jace Allen of Jamestown, New Mexico, and federal prosecutors charged him with transmitting interstate threats, a felony carrying up to five years in prison.
• Investigators say he used an alias X account on Sept. 11 to issue violent, racist, and antisemitic messages, including claims of planned mass murder and plans to shoot up locations.
• Prosecutors say he threatened an Ohio city council member by telling the official, “You’re gonna be one of the first to die.”
• Agents say he admitted to posting the threats, identified himself as a Neo-Nazi who hates Jews and minorities, and said he hoped to spark a civil war.
• Although he claimed not to own a firearm, agents report phone videos of him firing a rifle and a handgun in August, and he remains in custody as state police investigate reported bomb threats targeting New Mexico legislative leaders’ homes.
