A man from Texas was taken into custody on Thursday for allegedly making threats of violence against President Donald Trump via Facebook, prior to the president’s visit to Kerrville, federal authorities have reported.

Robert Herrera, a 52-year-old resident of San Antonio, is facing charges for threatening the president and making interstate threatening communications, as detailed in a press statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.

The threats in question were allegedly posted on the Facebook page of an unnamed local news outlet discussing Trump’s upcoming visit to the Hill Country after the deadly flooding on the Fourth of July. Authorities have not publicly named the news outlet involved.

“I would like to thank the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI San Antonio Field Office for assisting the U.S. Secret Service in this matter,” Special Agent in Charge Brian J. Gibson of the U.S. Secret Service San Antonio Field Office said in the release.

“Investigating threats towards individuals under Secret Service protection are treated as our highest priority. This is one of the countless reasons the Secret Service prides ourselves on forging and maintaining relationships with other law enforcement agencies. As this is an ongoing investigation, the Secret Service will have no further comment on this incident.”

Trump and the first lady traveled to Kerrville Friday to survey flood damage and meet with first responders. In remarks on the ground, Trump said the federal government would provide “whatever relief Texas needs.”

The arrest comes almost one year to the day after Trump survived an attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally. In that incident, a rooftop gunman fired at Trump from roughly 150 yards away, grazing his right ear and killing one attendee, Corey Comperatore, before Secret Service agents shot the attacker dead.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas, the Secret Service and San Antonio Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
