A Florida woman is facing federal charges after allegedly threatening to kill then-President-elect Donald Trump and members of his family, writing on social media that she would eliminate Trump’s “whole entire bloodline.”
Federal agents arrested Tammy Teresa Williams and accused her of making threats against the president and those in the line of succession, according to court records.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Facebook notified the U.S. Secret Service and FBI on Oct. 30 after an account called “Eboe Nation” allegedly published a threatening message earlier that day. The post reportedly referenced killing the president and his family.
“I am coming to kill off Trump whole entire bloodline! And so many more!” the post allegedly stated.
Facebook, now owned by Meta, provided investigators with subscriber details and a phone number that authorities said were connected to Williams.
Meta records also indicated that the account used an IP address traced to Kissimmee, Florida, within five minutes of the alleged threat, the complaint says.
Investigators allegedly determined that the IP address was registered to Williams’ daughter, who lives in Kissimmee, located in the Middle District of Florida. Authorities also pointed out that Trump was in the district on Oct. 30 for a scheduled political rally in Daytona Beach.

That evening, federal agents visited Williams’ last known address while investigating the post. They learned that she had been staying at her daughter’s residence.
“While attempting to locate Williams, law enforcement spoke with various witnesses,” the complaint states. One family friend allegedly told investigators she was not surprised Williams had posted inappropriate comments on Facebook. Witnesses also said Williams had been seen talking to herself the previous day and had gotten into a confrontation with her daughter.
Agents eventually found Williams at her daughter’s home. According to authorities, she gave “noncommittal responses” and did not admit to making the threat. Investigators said, however, that Williams mentioned the name “Eboe,” even though they had not revealed the account’s name to her.
Williams’ criminal record reportedly includes a 1996 charge for carrying a concealed firearm and a 2019 charge alleging battery against a law enforcement officer. Adjudication was withheld in both cases.
The Federal Public Defender’s Office is representing Williams.
After prosecutors made an oral motion, Magistrate Judge Chauncey A. Bratt ordered Williams detained pending a hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
