10 Threats Against Trump Admin Officials in 2026 |
This year may have barely begun, but it has already witnessed many threats to President Donald Trump and members of his administration.
Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, and he faced another serious assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida, two months later. The first assassin died in the attempt, and a judge sentenced Ryan Routh, 59, to life in prison plus 84 months last week for the second attempt.
Two events last year highlighted the rise of political violence on the left: the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the comments of Democrat Jay Jones, who now serves as Virginia’s attorney general, wishing for the death of his political opponents. (Jones apologized for the comments after National Review exposed them.)
A judge sentenced Jauan Rashun Porter, 30, to more than three years in prison Tuesday for transmitting threats to kill Trump last summer. Porter allegedly said on TikTok that “there’s only one way to make America great and that is putting a bullet in between Trump’s eyes.”
Earlier this year, defendants have allegedly threatened Trump, key administration officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Here’s the list of arrests so far this year, for threats made both this year and late last year.
