According to court documents, the posts were made across TikTok, X, and Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveque pleaded guilty to making threats against the President and successors to the presidency, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-nm\/pr\/albuquerque-man-sentenced-threats-against-president\">according<\/a> to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of New Mexico. He will be subject to three years of supervised release after completing his prison term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to court filings, Leveque first posted a TikTok video on January 2 in which he delivered a series of statements aimed at various people and groups. Prosecutors said Leveque warned that those he opposed should be \u201cfucking scared,\u201d adding that he did not care if he died and ending the video with the phrase \u201cRun, run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 3, Leveque directed threats at Trump on X, writing: \u201c@realDonaldTrump I got my eyes on you sir! Cant wait for your Victory rally! The 19th right!? Lol you and your rich friends are dead no threat a promise.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another post he wrote: \u201cHey @celebrities @ceos @elonmusk @DonaldTrump @Joemarafa its too late for yall shouldve [sic] shut down tik tok a long time ago see u on the 19thfor war!\u201d In response to a separate post from Trump, Leveque wrote: \u201cDie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors said the threats continued on January 4, when Leveque posted on Facebook, claiming he had purchased a gun and telling the public, \u201cwe are hunting you down!\u201d He also wrote that a planned march on state offices would occur on January 19 and suggested he expected to die or be jailed during the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI contacted Leveque at his Albuquerque residence on January 6, according to prosecutors. Investigators determined he had paid for a firearm online on January 4 but had not yet completed the purchase or taken possession of the weapon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe sentencing today reminds all of us that threatening violence is not protected speech and the United States Secret Service will continue to aggressively investigate and pursue prosecution on all threats against our protectees and elected public officials.\u201d said Ron Emmot, Resident Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service, Albuquerque Resident Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Albuquerque, New Mexico man has been sentenced to approximately 10 months in federal prison for using social media to issue violent threats against President Trump, according to federal prosecutors.
