Secret Service charges Maryland man for threatening to kidnap and kill Biden, Harris: Baltimore Sun

Secret Service agents have charged a Maryland man for threatening in a letter to kidnap and kill Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and rape his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), The Baltimore Sun has reported. Additionally, he supposedly targeted Democratic supporters, the Secret Service said.
The federal criminal complaint states that: “The defendant, James Dale Reed, knowingly and willfully threatened to kill and to kidnap and to inflict bodily harm upon Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris, who are major candidates for the office of the President and Vice President of the United States.”
The 42-year-old Reed, who describes himself as a semi-pro bodybuilder, wrote a violent, graphic letter in which he allegedly said: “We have a list of homes and addresses by your election signs. We are the ones with those scary guns, We are the ones your children have nightmares about. The Boogeymen coming in the night.”
When confronted by the Secret Service, Reed confessed to penning the letter, claiming he wrote it because he was upset with the current political situation.
Home security cameras caught Reed dropping off the letter on the front steps of someone’s house in the town of Frederick and was arrested last week, according to the Secret Service. Reed, who claims he didn’t know whose house it was, apparently delivered it to that particular house because it was the first one he encountered with Biden-Harris yard signs.
Currently, Reed is being held in jail without bail.
Court records indicate that Reed once threatened someone with Secret Service protection back in 2014 and was on the service’s radar.
According to The Sun, on an apparent Facebook page of his, he posted: “I just got my house raided today and my stuff stolen from me because they felt that I was a threat to societee and I have made no threat to societee but they came into my house sees my property and stole everything.”
Additionally, he supposedly referred to the Frederick Police as “bunch of thugs and gang members” on the same Facebook page.
In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, politically motivated violence from both extremes has risen dramatically. In fact, one-in-three Americans “believe that violence could be justified to advance their parties’ political goals,” according to an October study by Politico, “a substantial increase over the last three years.”
In anticipation of violence on Election Day and Night, police department across multiple American cities are even taking precautionary measures to bring potential civil unrest under control. The NYPD, for example, will dispatch officers to monitor 1,201 polling sites across the city on November 3.

Trump, Rep Biggs: invoking the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation will ‘be necessary’

At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.
Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”
Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”
“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”
“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”
