Transgender Woman Arrested by FBI for Threatening 'Transphobes' and Minority Groups

Elizabeth Ballesteros West, who expressed extremist views and posted images of firearms on social media, was taken into custody after months of FBI surveillance.

Elizabeth Ballesteros West, a transgender woman in Oregon, was arrested by the FBI for making interstate threats against 'transphobes' and minority groups.
West's threats were made on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, where she posted images of firearms and expressed extremist views, including support for Nazism.
West's arrest came after months of FBI surveillance, during which they discovered her possession of nearly 30 guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.
West has a history of mental health issues, including diagnoses for PTSD, dissociative disorder, and bipolar disorder.
Despite the severity of her threats and the arsenal of weapons in her possession, West was not taken into custody until January, several months after the FBI was first alerted to her threatening behavior.
