Criminal threatening is a thing. In the name of public peace and order, you can go around talking a lot of smack, but there are some lines you don’t want to cross. ‘30-year-old Oklahoma Taylor Ryan Prigmore, who posted a YouTube video where he said he would kill “as many [agents] as possible.”
That wasn’t a one-off.
According to the report, another fan of ICE, Justin Mesael Novoa, wrote that he “Can’t wait to shoot these … p—- ice agents and r——- maga maggots.”
There’s actually a lot of gray areas generally when someone says they’re gonna kill that MFer or similar, but these two appear to have taken it to excess, and while we will presume innocence until proven guilty, the FBI and DoJ scooped them up for a chat.
The federal complaint says Prigmore allegedly left eight comments last week alone expressing his desire to kill federal agents and others. He also allegedly threatened to kill any law enforcement officers who came to his home. The threatening posts began in May 2025, according to the Justice Department. …
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Dominick S. Gerace’s office announced charges against Novoa for allegedly making threatening interstate communications, including threats to assault or murder a federal law enforcement officer. ..
Federal agents searched Novoa’s home in December 2025 and seized multiple firearms, according to the Justice Department. When agents entered his home, Novoa reportedly said, “Alright, you got me. That was me,” and “So Elon does give you access to that.”
I bring it up for two reasons. First, we’ve reported on several incidents of enraged lefties encouraged to do violence, and Anti-ICE protesters going after regular people, but this also crossed the transom.
Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes has come under fire after some claim that she suggested that her citizens could justifiably shoot masked ICE agents.
I think it would be a stretch to make that claim based on how she framed it and the words she chose, but she did do something dangerous.
“But to be clear, you are not telling folks that you have license—,” Resnik began to ask before being interrupted.
“No,” Mayes responded.
“—If you’re being threatened—,” Resnik continued.
“Well…” Mayes interjected.
“—to shoot a peace officer?” Resnik finished.
“No, but again, if you’re being attacked by someone who is not identified as a peace officer, how do you know?” Mayes answered. “If somebody comes at me, wearing a mask, and I can’t tell whether they’re a police officer, what am I supposed to do?”
For years, the left has encouraged black-block, face-mask-wearing Antifa to engage in intimidation and violence to silence center-right speakers or interfere with Republican or conservative protests or events (no, they are not the same things). To the Left, hiding your face to engage in what often amounted to illegal behavior was perfectly reasonable. They had “a right” to protect their identity so no one would figure out who their rich parents were or what basement they lived in.
Let’s not get started on the left, masking, and COVID.
But when ICE agents hide their faces to protect themselves and their families from real threats, lots of them, made by the same sorts of people, well, heck, how are we supposed to know who they are or what their intentions are?
Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes did infer that you have a right to self-defense and that shooting at this mystery predator might not be unwarranted.
You can’t lie to them, but you might be allowed to shoot them.
I doubt she’d feel the same way if she had a case where someone shot some masked antifa thug coming at them with a shield and a club, but that’s to be expected. They behave like vigilantes for progressive social justice, and it’s different. Crime, waste, fraud, and abuse in the name of doing the people’s (republic of whatever’s) business is easy to dismiss. The entire opposition to enforcing immigration law is exactly that. Mayes’ concern has nothing to do with the right to self-defense or with anyone’s ability to identify the intentions of others.
Her crime is being another narrative toting Democrat who is tasked with making, following, or enforcing all the laws, even the ones that infringe on their replacement theory political priorities, but won’t or can’t.
She’s making excuses and giving so-called activists cover for behavior that will get them arrested, hurt, or killed, and we have to presume that’s what she wants. Killing an ICE agent isn’t nearly as valuable PR as ICE killing someone she encouraged to strike out at law enforcement on the thin premise that they couldn’t tell who they were.
A strange take for a member of a Party that opposes stand your ground, insists on laws that require you to retreat when threatened, and prosecutes people who defend themselves against actual threats to life by real criminals whom those same Dems want to release without bail.
