In response to a criminal complaint alleging that a 25-year-old Georgia man named Aliakbar Mohammad Amin transmitted interstate threats to harm Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard and her husband, Amin has been arrested and charged.

“Threatening to harm public officials is a criminal act that cannot be excused as political discourse,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. “Our Office, in coordination with our law enforcement partners, will vigorously prosecute individuals who commit these acts of violence.”

“The FBI sees all threatening communications as a serious federal offense. We will employ every investigative tool and resource available to identify those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” stated Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Let this arrest serve as a clear warning: if you engage in this kind of criminal behavior, you will be caught and you will go to prison.”

Acting U.S. Attorney Moultrie stated in the complaint, attached as evidence in court, that Amin reportedly conveyed threats against DNI Gabbard and her husband by text message between March 29th and April 1st, 2025.

Some of these threats included the messages:

  • “You and your family are going to die soon” and “I will personally do the job if necessary.”
  • “Death to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time.
  • “The home you two own. . . is a legitimate target and will be hit at a time and place of our choosing.”
  • “Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn.”

Similar threats purportedly made by Amin were also discovered by federal authorities throughout the investigation in his social media posts, including one that showed a firearm being aimed at a picture of Gabbard, and another that showed a firearm aimed at a picture of both Gabbard and her husband.

Later, while carrying out a warrant search of Amin’s residence, federal officials found the firearm.

On April 11th, 2025, Amin, 25, of Lilburn, Georgia, was charged with violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 875(c) in a criminal complaint that had previously been sealed.

After his first appearance in federal court, a U.S. Magistrate Judge ordered him to be held pending trial.

An image of Amin has not yet been released by federal authorities.

Operation Take Back America is a nationwide effort that uses all of the Department of Justice’s resources to combat illegal immigration, eradicate cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), shielding U.S. communities from violent crime perpetrators. This case is part of that effort.

Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) and the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) pool their resources and efforts under Operation Take Back America.

Correction- 4/15/25- 3:30 pm: Amin has since turned 25 since his arrest. One America News (OAN) has corrected the age of 24 to 25.

Georgia MANDATED to Hand-Count ALL Ballots in Trump-Harris election | LiveNOW from FOX

The Georgia State Election Board convened on Friday to discuss and vote on nearly a dozen proposed changes to election rules ahead of the November general election. Among the most contentious proposals was a new requirement for all ballots to be hand-counted at each polling location, which the board has now approved. Supporters argue that hand-counting ballots is essential for ensuring election integrity and increasing public trust in the process. However, opponents warn that this rule could lead to significant delays in reporting election results, especially in larger counties. The concerns were echoed by election officials who fear the change will create logistical challenges at a time when election preparations are already underway. The meeting, held at the Georgia State Capitol, drew a large crowd, requiring two overflow rooms to accommodate the number of attendees. In addition to the hand-counting requirement, the board is considering other changes, including a proposal to publicly post the names of all registered voters for the Nov. 5 election. Critics, including members of the Georgia Association of Voter Registration and Election Officials (GAVREO), expressed concerns about the timing of these changes, warning they could disrupt the preparation and training of poll workers. "Any last-minute changes to the rules risk undermining the public’s trust in the electoral process and placing undue pressure on those responsible for managing the polls," said GAVREO President W. Travis Doss Jr. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger also voiced concern that the rule changes could cause confusion and chaos on election night, a view shared by many Democratic officials. "Activists seeking to impose last-minute changes in election procedures outside of the legislative process undermine voter confidence and burden election workers," Raffensperger said. During the public comment period, 30 people spoke, with the majority opposing the changes. One speaker highlighted the already tight timeline for election officials, saying, "Now is the time for election officials to train workers, perform security protocols, print ballots, and mail absentee ballots, not to learn new rules and procedures." Despite the concerns, some supporters believe that tighter election rules are crucial for maintaining free and fair elections. "Any way we can tighten up elections and ensure transparency is critical to voter confidence," said one attendee in favor of the new rules.

Any approved changes will take effect 20 days from now, just as overseas and military ballots are being sent out and in-person early voting begins. The Cobb County Election Board has also urged the state to refrain from making rule changes so close to the election, unanimously voting earlier this week to call for a halt to any further modifications.
