A Florida man who allegedly made a threatening comment about people protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) mass deportation operations has ended up in jail.

Zachary Degross, 26, stands accused of sending a written threat to conduct an act of terrorism.

Protests related to immigration have spread across the country, especially in Los Angeles, as many disagree with the mass deportation efforts being executed by ICE agents under orders from President Donald Trump.

According to authorities, Degross responded to a social media post inquiring whether the Sunshine State cities of Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville and Tallahassee were having any protests.

Degross chimed in on Tuesday with an error-ridden and typo-filled response.

“Look as a Jacksonville resident of I see any large gatherings to protest ice I’m going to grab my buddies tow truck and plow through every ignant, un-american swine I see protestong the deportation of ILLEGAL immigrants, since you believe in them so much why don’t you go with.”

A “vigilant citizen” noticed the comment and contacted the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the agency said in a Facebook post. Deputies traced the post to Degross and went to his home for an interview. After speaking with him, cops said they had enough evidence to make an arrest.

Deputies said they take every threat seriously.
