President Donald J. Trump — New York woman arrested for alleged threats against President after social media outburst Washington, DC – Monday — A New York woman is in federal custody after allegedly traveling to Washington, D.C., and making online threats against the President of the United States, according to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro. The woman, identified as Nathalie Rose Jones, is facing two federal charges related to knowingly and willfully threatening the life of the President. Prosecutors say Jones posted threats on Facebook and Instagram, calling the President a terrorist and expressing intent to have him "eliminated." In a video statement released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Pirro confirmed that Jones had traveled from New York to the capital, where her threats allegedly intensified. She is now in federal custody and is expected to be prosecuted “to the full extent of the law.” “Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes,” Pirro said. “Make no mistake—justice will be served.” Officials credited the U.S. Secret Service, with special agents from both New York and Washington, D.C., working together to identify and apprehend the suspect before any violence occurred. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the timing or exact nature of the threats. The arrest marks a rare but serious case of a citizen crossing state lines and allegedly issuing credible threats against the nation’s highest elected office, triggering an immediate response from federal law enforcement. Jones is expected to appear before a federal magistrate judge in Washington, D.C., where she will be formally charged and face detention proceedings.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military carried out precision airstrikes in Somalia targeting a senior ISIS attack planner and other militants, according to a statement by former President Donald Trump on Saturday.

Trump announced the strikes on social media, stating that the targeted individuals were responsible for planning attacks against the U.S. and its allies. He claimed the operation eliminated the ISIS leader and multiple militants while avoiding civilian casualties.

“Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!” Trump wrote.

The U.S. Department of Defense has not yet released an official statement confirming the operation or providing details on the number of casualties. Somalia has been a focal point for U.S. counterterrorism operations against ISIS and al-Shabaab militants.

The strikes come amid ongoing U.S. efforts to combat terrorism in the Horn of Africa, where extremist groups continue to operate in remote regions.
