Grzegorz Vandenberg, 48, allegedly asked store employees in New Mexico to assist him in selecting fireworks that could be used as weapons, telling employees that he was a special forces veteran, could make pipe bombs, and intended to take the explosives to use against police or government officials at the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
The case follows the charging of five other protesters by the DOJ on Tuesday, with those charges including felony counts of assault, vandalism, and grand theft.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “Threats like these strike at the heart of law and order — we will not hesitate to bring federal charges against anyone who seeks to harm law enforcement or endanger the safety of our communities.”
