John Paul Cupp, 45, also known as Walid al-Amriki, is the poster child for the 8,000-fold increase in threats against federal law enforcement, a top DHS official told Fox News Digital. Cupp is charged with making threats against a federal law enforcement officer after he allegedly threatened to kill ICE agents and sexually assault their wives. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
DHS shared video with Fox News Digital posted on the suspect’s Instagram that was labeled "Daddy Walid’s Come Get Bin Laden Challenge," which featured Cupp swearing repeatedly and loudly self-identifying to responding ICE agents as the deceased Al-Qaeda terrorist: "I'm over here advocating your death and the violent overthrow of the government, and you want to attack some females and some children."
