EXCLUSIVE: Two New Jersey brothers were arrested on charges tied to terroristic threats against DHS chief Kristi Noem’s top public-facing deputy, including alleged vows to "shoot ICE agents on sight." One brother also faces unlawful weapons-possession charges.
The harrowing allegations come amid a reported 8,000% increase in death threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel. The alleged targeting of Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin presented a new danger for those working to realize President Donald Trump’s mass deportation of the "worst of the worst" illegal immigrant criminals.
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores, twins from Absecon, New Jersey, next to Atlantic City; were arrested after allegedly posting to X that they wanted to torture and kill McLaughlin in a medieval fashion.
"[The Second] Amendment is in place for moments like this. Shoot ICE on sight," one of the brothers allegedly tweeted in a partially redacted response to a McLaughlin message:
"We Americans should find you, tar you, feather you, and hang you as we did to anyone serving tyrants before the Revolutionary War."
A second partially redacted tweet, reportedly from the other brother, read: "Shoot ICE on sight."
McLaughlin has been front-and-center on broadcast media throughout DHS’ immigration enforcement missions.
