Robert Herrera arrested for threatening President Donald Trump ahead of his trip to Kerr County
SAN ANTONIO, TX — A San Antonio man has been arrested on federal charges in connection with online threats allegedly made against President Donald Trump ahead of his planned visit to the Texas Hill Country.
According to federal court documents, 52-year-old Robert Herrera was taken into custody Thursday night in San Antonio.
The arrest stems from a series of threatening posts allegedly made by Herrera on a July 10 Facebook thread under a local news outlet’s post about Trump’s upcoming appearance.
Using the name “Robert Herrer,” Herrera reportedly commented, “I won’t miss,” in response to the news, alongside a graphic image showing President Trump immediately after the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The criminal complaint further states that when another Facebook user replied, “You won’t get the chance, I promise,” Herrera responded with, “I’ll just come for you,” attaching a photo of an assault rifle and loaded magazines.
Herrera is charged with making threats against the President and transmitting interstate threatening communications.
If convicted, he faces up to five years in federal prison for each count.
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sentencing, if applicable, will be determined by a federal district judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory considerations.
