I know where I can get a lot of [expletive] guns and I am going to take care of business myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m tired of all you [expletive] frauds. People need to [expletive] die and people are going to die,&#8221; Schneider allegedly said. &#8220;[Expletive] all of you, especially you Trump. You should be executed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video also included a caption that read, in part: \u201cTHIS IS NOT A THREAT!!! AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING and My House Auction date is 11.04.2025 @realDonaldTrump SHOULD BE EXECUTED!!!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the complaint, a concerned citizen in Florida viewed the post and reported it to law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Winthrop Harbor Police Department <a href=\"https:\/\/myemail.constantcontact.com\/Police-Activity---2800-Block-of-15th-Street-.html?soid=1138994769518&amp;aid=LN7Q48bj-7s\">said<\/a> it assisted the U.S. Secret Service and the Lake County Tactical Response Team in serving a search and arrest warrant in the 2800 block of 15th Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis operation was part of an ongoing U.S. Secret Service protective intelligence investigation and is not related to any immigration enforcement actions,\u201d the department said. It added that while there was a large law enforcement presence in the area, \u201cthere is no danger to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winthrop Harbor is a village in Lake County, Illinois, located near the Wisconsin border along the shore of Lake Michigan. The police department did not specify further details about the search or what was seized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man from suburban Chicago has been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump, according to prosecutors.
