An Ohio man was arrested for allegedly making terroristic threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and a federal official, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official announced Saturday.

Anthony Kelly of Cincinnati will face federal charges for allegedly threatening to kidnap, assault and murder a U.S. official, according to Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS.

“Thank you to our law enforcement,” McLaughlin said in a post on X. “These threats will not be tolerated. You will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The arrest comes amid ongoing concerns from DHS about the doxxing of ICE agents. Attacks on agents have skyrocketed by 830% since January, the agency announced recently.

In a memo released earlier this month, DHS called on the Justice Department to prosecute anyone suspected of doxxing ICE agents by posting agents’ photos and personal information online or in public.

“We will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law. These criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in the memo. “We won’t allow it in America.” 

The DHS and ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
