The ‘peaceful’ left strikes again.
Two twin brothers have just been arrested for violent threats against DHS Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin.
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores from New Jersey were arrested three days after posting messages threatening to kill McLaughlin.
In the messages, they also advocated for shooting ICE agents.
This clip from Fox News has more details:

🚨 BREAKING: Two New Jersey leftists were just ARRESTED for threatening to HANG DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin

THIS IS THE LEFT. It has to STOP!
Emilio Roman-Flores is charged with unlawful possession of an assault weapon, possession of prohibited weapons, conspiracy terroristic threats, criminal coercion, threats, and cyber harassment.
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores is charged with conspiracy terroristic threats.
Stay safe, @TriciaOhio.
Specifically, the twins called for Americans to “tar, feather, and hang” McLaughlin.
Fox News shared the full messages:
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores, twins from Absecon, New Jersey, next to Atlantic City; were arrested after allegedly posting to X that they wanted to torture and kill McLaughlin in a medieval fashion.
“[The Second] Amendment is in place for moments like this. Shoot ICE on sight,” one of the brothers allegedly tweeted in a partially redacted response to a McLaughlin message:
“We Americans should find you, tar you, feather you, and hang you as we did to anyone serving tyrants before the Revolutionary War.”
A second partially redacted tweet, reportedly from the other brother, read: “Shoot ICE on sight.”
McLaughlin has been front-and-center on broadcast media throughout DHS’ immigration enforcement missions.
Seen as Noem’s top representative in the press, McLaughlin has not been shy about defending her agency, recently lambasting those like the Absecon brothers who allegedly threaten ICE agents as “despicable” and repeating that attacks on federal officers are a direct result of violent rhetoric from Democrats and the political left.
When the DHS and SWAT team conducted a search warrant of the Roman-Flores brothers’ residences, they also found illegally-owned assault weapons.
A press release from the DHS has more details on the charges each brother is facing:
This morning, DHS and the Absecon Police Department SWAT team executed a search and arrest warrant for U.S. citizens Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores.
Emilio Roman-Flores is being charged with unlawful possession of an assault weapon, possession of prohibited weapons, conspiracy terroristic threats, criminal coercion, threats, and cyber harassment.
Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores is charged with conspiracy terroristic threats.
“Let this be a warning to anyone who dares threaten or attack our brave law enforcement officers,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. “We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. We are NOT afraid of you. The extreme rhetoric of the news media, sanctuary politicians, and activists is leading directly to our law enforcement officers facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them. If you threaten our law enforcement or DHS officials, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
This kind of violence cannot be tolerated, and the DHS is making it very clear.
Threats of violence are never acceptable. Law enforcement must hold anyone who targets public officials accountable, no matter their politics.
