New Mexico man jailed for threatening Trump on social media
Fox News
Tyler Leveque, 38, was sentenced after admitting he posted a series of threats targeting President Trump over several days in early January 2025.
Emma Bussey is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital. Before joining Fox, she worked at The Telegraph with the U.S. overnight team, across desks including foreign, politics, news, sport and culture.
The statement set out how Leveque’s online posts had escalated across TikTok, X and Facebook and that they were explicit enough to trigger a federal investigation by the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI.
Prosecutors said the threats began on Jan. 2, 2025, when Leveque posted a TikTok video in which he voiced hatred toward multiple groups and warned followers they should be "f---ing scared," and declared his willingness to die. He ended the video with the taunt, "Run, run."
