FIRST ON FOX: A former teaching assistant who was fired by Illinois State University was arrested in a joint operation by FBI and Secret Service agents on Tuesday.
Derek Lopez, 27, has been charged with threatening President Donald Trump, according to the bureau.
"The arrest follows a month-long investigation coordinated with the above agencies, which also included the Illinois State University Police Department, regarding Lopez's online and in-person activities," according to an FBI memo obtained by Fox News Digital. "Lopez is alleged to have recently made threats against a sitting President, which prompted the current federal charges."
He made his first court appearance on Wednesday afternoon.
FBI Director Kash Patel described the alleged threats as "heinous."
