The Justice Department (DOJ) on Friday revealed it has charged a Pennsylvania man with threatening to harm and kill President Donald Trump, other U.S. officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, was charged with the threats earlier this week after he allegedly made threatening comments on social media, and purchased guns to allegedly carry out the threats. 

Monper allegedly made the posts under his username of "Mr. Satan" where the user commented in February that people needed to kill Trump, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, and other Trump administration agency heads. In one message, he allegedly stated that he would "assassinate him myself." 

“I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said. 

“Rest assured that whenever and wherever threats of assassination or mass violence occur, this Department of Justice will find, arrest, and prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum appropriate punishment," she added.

Federal agents also alleged that Monper made other threatening statements against Trump and his officials from January 2025 through April. It is not clear what Trump officials he allegedly planned to target.

He also allegedly threatened ICE agents earlier this month by stating that he saw them as terrorists and would shoot them.

“If I see an armed ice agent, I will consider it a domestic terrorist, and an active shooter and open fire on them," he wrote on April 1.

Monper is expected to appear in court on April 14.
