Dallas Man Arrested for Allegedly Soliciting Murder of ICE Agents

BREAKING: A 23-year-old man from Dallas has been arrested for allegedly soliciting the murder of ICE agents through a disturbing TikTok post. Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas confirmed the arrest of Eduardo Aguilar, who now faces a federal charge for threatening communication.

The alarming incident unfolded on October 9, 2023, when Aguilar posted a video featuring a menacing message superimposed on stark imagery. The translated text read, “I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to [two skull emojis].” Following this, he offered a shocking bounty of $10,000 for each ICE agent targeted.

Acting on a tip from a concerned citizen, federal authorities swiftly apprehended Aguilar. The evidence presented in court highlights the seriousness of the allegations against him.

“Threats against our law enforcement officers are completely unacceptable,”

stated Nancy E. Larson, Acting U.S. Attorney. She reiterated that any threats directed at agents will trigger thorough investigations and strict prosecution.

Aguilar had his initial court appearance yesterday, where a United States Magistrate Judge ordered his detention in federal custody. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. It’s important to note that Aguilar is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The investigation involved multiple agencies, including the Dallas Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Homeland Security Investigations, demonstrating the collaborative effort to ensure safety and uphold the law.

As this situation continues to develop, authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. The threat against law enforcement is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention and response.

Stay tuned for further updates on this critical case as it unfolds.
