Those who oppose Trump’s agenda are getting more violent. And they’re lashing out.
Now an attempt on Kristi Noem’s life ended in tears.
Judge Locks Up Texas Man Over Chilling Online Threats
A Texas resident accused of unleashing a torrent of violent threats online against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem won’t be seeing freedom anytime soon.
On Wednesday, a federal judge in Dallas ordered 35-year-old Robert King to stay behind bars, slamming the door on his hopes of release after his arrest for interstate threats.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Renee Toliver didn’t hesitate, ruling that King poses both a flight risk and a danger to the public.
The decision came during a tense hearing in Dallas, confirmed by Fox News, where King’s attorney fought back, pointing out his clean criminal record, lack of weapons, and ongoing mental health struggles—including depression and suicidal thoughts.
But Toliver wasn’t swayed, and King was visibly shaken, tears streaming down his face as he exited the courtroom.
From Facebook Rants to Federal Charges
King’s troubles kicked off with his arrest in McKinney, Texas, on March 29, sparked by a series of incendiary Facebook posts. Federal prosecutors say it started when he shared a PBS NewsHour article and unleashed a venomous tirade:
“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.”
The rage didn’t stop there. In a follow-up post, King turned his sights on ICE agents, calling them “a secret police force with no real legal authority” and vowing to “open fire” if they showed up in his neighborhood.
Days later, he doubled down, writing, “Just wanna double down on what I said the other day: if ICE comes to your neighborhood, f—— shoot them and k*ll them. No mercy for the Gestapo.” The posts, flagged via the FBI’s national tip line, landed him in hot water fast.
Family Ties and Fallout
Adding a twist to the tale, King was living with his sister and her husband—a current police officer and former Customs and Border Protection agent—when he allegedly fired off the threats.
The arrangement didn’t last long; his family kicked him out after the posts surfaced. Now, he’s cooling his heels in Kaufman County detention, though his attorney is pushing for a transfer to a facility where he can get mental health support and medication.
Despite the defense’s pleas, Judge Toliver’s ruling stands firm, leaving King to face the consequences of his online outburst as the case unfolds.
