A Texas man has been taken into custody after authorities alleged he issued terroristic threats against agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
Robert King allegedly made “alarming” social media posts, according to a statement from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas.
One post noted his intentions to “open fire” if agents are seen in his neighborhood, according to the statement.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a search warrant for a residence in Hays County was obtained by the Hays County Sheriff’s Office and DPS, with the assistance of the FBI, ICE, HSI, and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO). The warrant was executed by the DPS’ Special Response Team.
More than 40 people, including minors, were taken into custody at or near the home, and narcotics were seized, according to HSI San Antonio.
An ICE spokesperson told Fox News 47 illegal immigrants were apprehended.

According to the spokesperson, among the 47 individuals, there were 25 adult men, nine single adult women, four adult mothers, and nine non-citizen children.
They were all taken to the Austin Resident Office for processing.
“Everyone whom ICE arrested was found to be illegally present in the U.S. and taken into ICE custody pending immigration proceedings,” according to the spokesperson.
The State Department designated TdA as a foreign terrorist organization on Feb. 20.
The gang has thousands of members who are reportedly undertaking hostile actions against the U.S. in multiple states.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, enacted by President Donald Trump to make it easier to detain TdA members, allows the deportation of natives and citizens of an enemy nation without a hearing, and has previously only been invoked during wartime.
DHS and HSI Dallas did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
