Police have arrested a 25-year-old man accused of sending threatening messages to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and her husband.

The Department of Justice announced the arrest of Aliakbar Mohammed Amin on Monday, stating that he allegedly sent the threats via text between March 29 and April 1. The threats included Amin allegedly writing, “You and your family are going to die soon” and “I will personally do the job if necessary.”

“Death to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time,” another text read. “The home you two own in Texas is a legitimate target and will be hit at a time and place of our choosing,” another said.

“Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn,” Amin allegedly added in another text.

Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. said in a statement regarding the arrest: “Threatening to harm public officials is a criminal act that cannot be excused as political discourse. Our Office, in coordination with our law enforcement partners, will vigorously prosecute individuals who commit these acts of violence.”

Agents arrested Amin in Lilburn, Georgia, on April 11. He is facing charges for transmitting interstate threats to injure Gabbard.

“The FBI sees all threatening communications as a serious federal offense. We will employ every investigative tool and resource available to identify those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta.

“Let this arrest serve as a clear warning: if you engage in this kind of criminal behavior, you will be caught and you will go to prison.”
