FBI Nabs Threatening Protester
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed charges against Nicholas Matthew Scelfo, a 27-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., man charged with threatening to kill an ICE agent and also to assassinate the members of the agent’s family. Scelfo made the threats last Wednesday in a protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey.
He faces imprisonment for up to 10 years in a federal penitentiary and a fine of up to $250,000 if found guilty. Scelfo allegedly shouted: “I’ll kill your whole f—— family! Your whole f—— family is dead! Your children, your wife, all dead! I have your face, motherf—–! You’re dead! Dead!”
The FBI assembled facial recognition posts to identify Scelfo. Said FBI Director Kash Patel, “Let this be a message to any criminal actor who may try something similar: You touch a cop, and this FBI will put you down.”
