Overview

• Kevin Delgado, 40, of Bayside, New York, received a 366‑day federal prison term after pleading guilty in May to transmitting threats in interstate commerce.
• Prosecutors said he admitted the threat targeted Nessel because of her religion and her perceived sexual orientation.
• The threat was posted on X in reply to Nessel’s tribute to her friend Samantha Woll and included “watch every step u take,” a homophobic slur, and “#murdered.”
• The FBI investigated the case, and an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan prosecuted it.
• Statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI framed the sentence as reinforcing that public officials must be able to serve without threats or intimidation.
