A St. Paul, Minnesota man is facing charges after allegedly posting a TikTok video in which he offered a bounty for the assassination of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avalos, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read “WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead),” Fox News reported Monday.
An image of the alleged post appears to have a sniper scope dot on the photo of Bondi:
According to a report by Fox, the man allegedly captioned the video with the words, “Cough cough. When they don’t serve us, then what?”
The concerning post was brought to the attention of federal authorities when another TikTok user reported it, prompting an investigation. The suspect was apprehended at an apartment complex on Thursday and now faces federal charges.
Fox further reported that the individual has a history of criminal behavior, including previous convictions for stalking and domestic violence.
In addition to the threatening post, investigators discovered that the suspect’s TikTok account contained anarchist symbols and references to anti-government literature. Court documents reveal that his profile included a link to ‘An Anarchist FAQ book.’

“His TikTok account, investigators noted, also featured anarchist symbols and links to anti-government literature. His profile also brandished a link to ‘An Anarchist FAQ book,’ according to court filings,” the outlet noted.
Although Ty Cobb, former White House special counsel and critic of President Donald Trump, said recently that Bondi is the most “reprehensible” person to hold that office, she has been working alongside officials to crack down on crime across the nation.
Bondi recently revealed crime statistics showing those efforts have yielded significant results, per – News.
Bondi also gave a warning to Democrat leaders who have threatened Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers enforcing deportation laws, the outlet reported Friday.
“The coordinated federal pushback is a response to the massive resistance from Democrats to the enforced deportation of millions of illegal migrants,” the outlet said.
“Progressive Democrats defend the migrants because they cannot agree to recognize the civic distinction between citizens and economic migrants. This resistance is backed by local business groups, which use the migrants to provide cheap services — such as food delivery — to the upper-income customers who are a critical part of the Democrats’ voting bloc and donor base,” it noted.
