Texas man who vowed to shoot, kill ICE agents, said Noem should be in 'gulag,' charged in federal court: DOJ

A judge ordered him held pending a Wednesday detention hearing. 

King, 35, posted a series of threats on Facebook targeting ICE agents and making disparaging remarks about Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, authorities said. 

In the first, King shared a PBS NewsHour article and wrote: "I truly hope, and I mean this with all my heart, that Kristi Noem meets a horrible and agonizing demise I hope she is tried in a war criminal court with the rest of the Nazis when this is all over and I hope she is ripped apart in a gulag. Nothing less for a Nazi scum. This is America now a Nazi fascist state. Disgusting." 

He then wrote a second post where he threatened to target immigration agents. 

"If I see ICE agents in my neighborhood, I am opening fire. It's time to stop being p****** and put the second amendment to work," King said. "ICE are not real cops, they are a secret police force with no real legal authority. Kill them."

"Just wanna double down on what I said the other day: if ICE comes to your neighborhood, f****** shoot them and kill them. No mercy for the Gestapo," he wrote, federal prosecutors said. 

Noem previously issued a stern warning after a similar threat was made by someone on TikTok. 

"If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law," she wrote in a March 30 post on X.
