Albuquerque Man Charged with Threats Against President Trump
An Albuquerque man has been charged with making threats against then President Donald J. Trump in a series of social media posts.
Tyler Miles Leveque, 37, allegedly posted threatening messages on social media between January 2 and 4, 2025, expressing intent to harm the President-Elect and others at an upcoming rally. The posts included statements such as ‘you and your rich friends are dead no threat a promise‘ and references to violence at an event reportedly planned for January 19th in Washington D.C.
During an interview with agents from the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation on January 6, 2025, Leveque admitted to making the threatening posts and recently purchasing a firearm. Investigators confirmed Leveque had recently bought a gun from a local business.
Leveque will remain in custody pending trial, which has not been scheduled. If convicted, Leveque faces up to five years in prison.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service with the assistance of the FBI Albuquerque Field Office and the Albuquerque Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sammy Hurtado is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
