Threats Against President-Elect Trump Lead to Indictment
A federal grand jury has indicted a Tolleson resident over alleged threats made towards President-Elect Donald Trump. The individual, identified as Manuel Tamayo-Torres, reportedly issued these threats via social media in November, targeting both Trump and his family, as detailed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Torres’s criminal history includes a 2003 conviction in California for Assault with Great Bodily Injury. Furthermore, he was subject to an order of protection by an Arizona court in 2023, intended to prevent him from stalking, harassing, or threatening his ex-wife.
In addition to the threats, Torres is accused of providing false information about his felony conviction to acquire firearms. These firearms, which appeared in at least one of his social media posts, were subsequently discovered at his residence.
Following his arrest in San Diego, Torres remains in custody. Should he be found guilty, he faces a potential sentence of up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
