德州男子多次威胁总统与联邦移民官员，被判 33 个月联邦监禁
美国司法部北德州联邦检察官办公室宣布，37 岁的德州斯普林敦（Springtown）男子弗朗西斯科·赫苏斯·梅纳（Francisco Jesus Mena）因多次对美国总统及联邦移民官员发出暴力威胁，被首席联邦地区法官里德·奥康纳（Reed O'Connor）判处 33 个月联邦监禁。
梅纳于 2025 年 6 月 9 日承认一项"威胁联邦官员"罪名。案情显示，他通过网络平台反复发布针对总统与执行移民执法任务的联邦官员的暴力威胁言论，联邦调查局（FBI）与特勤局介入调查后将其绳之以法。
北德州联邦检察官瑞安·雷布尔德（Ryan Raybould）表示，对总统与联邦执法人员的威胁是其办公室高度重视的犯罪，将继续起诉那些以恐吓、阻挠或报复联邦执法为目的的个人。FBI 达拉斯分局负责人 R·约瑟夫·罗斯罗克（R. Joseph Rothrock）表示，利用数字平台进行恐吓、胁迫或制造恐慌，是后果严重的刑事犯罪，FBI 将追究到底。
特勤局达拉斯分局负责人克里斯蒂娜·福利（Christina Foley）表示，特勤局调查所有针对其被保护人的威胁，对总统的威胁绝不容忍，将继续与联邦、州及地方执法伙伴合作追责。
司法部强调，网络威胁言论同样入刑，最高可判处多年监禁并处罚金，提醒公众在网络发言亦须承担法律责任。
Texas Man Sentenced to 33 Months in Federal Prison for Threatening the President and Federal Officers
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas announced that Francisco Jesus Mena, 37, of Springtown, Texas, was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for repeatedly issuing violent threats against the President of the United States and federal immigration officers. U.S. Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor imposed the sentence.
Mena pleaded guilty on June 9, 2025 to one count of threatening a federal official. According to the case record, he repeatedly posted violent threats online targeting the President and federal officers carrying out immigration enforcement duties; the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service investigated and brought him to justice.
U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said threats against the President and federal law enforcement officers are crimes his office takes very seriously, and that it will continue to prosecute individuals who seek to intimidate, impede or retaliate against federal law enforcement. FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock said conveying violent online threats is a serious criminal offense with substantial consequences, and those who exploit digital platforms to intimidate, coerce or instill fear will be held accountable.
U.S. Secret Service Dallas Field Office Special Agent in Charge Christina Foley said the Secret Service investigates all threats against its protectees, threats against the President will not be tolerated, and it will continue working with federal, state and local partners to hold offenders accountable.
The Justice Department emphasized that online threats are prosecutable crimes carrying multi-year prison terms and fines — a reminder that speech on the internet carries legal responsibility.
