A Florida man who allegedly chimed in with a threatening comment about people protesting mass deportation operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has landed in jail.

Zachary Degross, 26, stands accused of sending a written threat to conduct an act of terrorism.

Immigration-related protests have swept the country, particularly in Los Angeles, as people take issue with the mass deportation effort being carried out by ICE agents via orders from President Donald Trump.

According to authorities, Degross responded to a social media post inquiring whether the Sunshine State cities of Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville and Tallahassee were having any protests.

Degross chimed in on Tuesday with an error-ridden and typo-filled response.

“Look as a Jacksonville resident of I see any large gatherings to protest ice I’m going to grab my buddies tow truck and plow through every ignant, un-american swine I see protestong the deportation of ILLEGAL immigrants, since you believe in them so much why don’t you go with.”

A “vigilant citizen” noticed the comment and contacted the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the agency said in a Facebook post. Deputies traced the post to Degross and went to his home for an interview. After speaking with him, cops said they had enough evidence to make an arrest.

Deputies said they take every threat seriously.
