FBI Arrests Michigan Man for Threatening Trump’s Christian Supporters

A Michigan man has been taken into custody by the FBI following allegations of making threats to kill conservative Christians if Donald Trump secures another election victory. This arrest underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding political and religious affiliations in the United States.

The Justice Department announced that the FBI National Threat Operations Center received a menacing online message on November 2. This led to an investigation that traced the threat back to Isaac Sissel, a 25-year-old from Michigan, through phone records and an IP address.

Sissel faces a serious charge of making a threatening interstate communication, a felony that could result in a five-year prison sentence if he is found guilty.

Court documents reveal that Sissel expressed strong opinions about former President Trump and his supporters. According to the documents, Sissel believes Trump poses a significant danger that has not been adequately addressed by progressives and liberals. He allegedly feels that violence might be the only solution to counter Trump’s influence and that of his Christian supporters.

The criminal complaint states:
“Sissel … stated that former President Trump was a threat, a ‘piece of s***’ that should have been assassinated, and that everything would be better if Trump was dead.”

While Sissel claimed he would not personally harm Trump, he reportedly mentioned that he would not interfere if someone else attempted to do so.

“Sissel said that he hated conservative Christians, who he enjoyed threatening.”

In discussions with authorities, Sissel also mentioned that he might consider joining Antifa protests against the election results. His online presence further corroborates these threats, with social media accounts under names such as “ShootUpTrumpRally,” “PlanningToShootTrump,” and “WillShootTrumpSoon.”
