A San Antonio man has pleaded guilty in federal court to threatening former President Donald Trump. Robert Herrera, 52, admitted to making the threats on Facebook and faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas, court documents show that Herrera, using the name “Robert Herrer,” commented on a post about Trump’s visit to Texas Hill Country after severe flooding. He wrote “I won’t miss,” alongside a photo of Trump with Secret Service agents following last year’s assassination attempt. When another user dismissed the threat, Herrera replied “I’ll just come for you” and posted an image of an assault rifle and ammunition. He was detained the same day.
U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons announced that the case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mark Roomberg and Kelly Stephenson, with assistance from the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, San Antonio Police Department, and Texas Department of Public Safety.
A federal district judge will determine Herrera’s sentence in accordance with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. No sentencing date has been set.
