An Illinois resident has been charged with making threats against an FBI special agent based in Minneapolis, as reported by Fox News through court documents. The allegations against Jose Alberto Ramirez stem from a breach involving sensitive information stolen by agitators following the shooting of Renee Good.
Ramirez is slated to make his first federal court appearance on Wednesday afternoon, where he faces charges related to threats made against the agent. The threats reportedly utilized personal details obtained from documents unlawfully taken from government vehicles in Minneapolis.
The affidavit reveals that these agitators managed to access and steal materials containing personal data, which included residential addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of government employees. This sensitive information was subsequently shared on social media platforms, further compromising the security and privacy of the individuals involved.

The document details profanity-laced text messages sent to an FBI special agent’s work phone by a particular phone number.
The affidavit explains that the text messages “were sent in succession and respectively stated the following, ‘[Victim A’s Full Name}, ‘Yahahahahhahaha b**** a** n****, I know where your mom lives bro. And your dad. And your kids buddy.’ ‘Get home safe and fast.’”Â
The affidavit also indicated that a voicemail left by the same phone number declared, “What up [Victim A’s First Name]? You b**** a** n****. Your day will come n****. B**** a** n****.”

The document noted an incident report from authorities with the Village of Schaumberg Police Department that described a 2024 complaint by a manager at the Woodfield Mall in Illinois.
Court documents alleged that a manager reported an employee named Jose Ramirez to police and provided the same number associated with the threatening texts and voicemail sent to the FBI agent. The report noted that Ramirez was terminated for threatening to shoot another employee and indicated that Ramirez was sending threatening messages that he would be returning to the workplace despite being fired, the affidavit says.
