A Texas man accused of making violent threats against federal immigration officers and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been denied release from jail after a federal judge deemed him a risk to public safety, as reported NY Post. Robert King, 35, was arrested on March 29 in McKinney, Texas, following a set of alarming Facebook posts. During a court hearing in Dallas on Wednesday, US Magistrate Judge Renee Toliver ruled that King would remain in custody, stating that he was both a flight risk and a danger to the community.
The decision reportedly left him weeping in the court after the ruling. In one of the now-deleted social media posts that triggered the investigation, King allegedly shared a PBS NewsHour article and wrote, “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.” Also Read: Michelle Obama Responds To Divorce Rumors, Says 'Just Choosing Myself.

No mercy for the Gestapo.” He also added that the agency was “a secret police force with no real legal authority.” The threats came to light after someone reported them to the FBI through its national tip line.
