“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” Bondi said in a statement. “Today’s arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: if you come for law enforcement, the Trump Administration will come for you.”
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche echoed those remarks, framing the allegations as emblematic of what he described as Antifa’s broader ideology and tactics.
“It’s no surprise that an Antifa terrorist is allegedly threatening to kill and assault federal law enforcement officers as they dutifully remove criminal threats from neighborhoods,” Blanche said. “After all, this is what Antifa is about, lawlessness and violence. But under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, there is no safe haven for terrorists and no protection from the full weight of justice.”
Court documents paint a troubling picture of Wagner’s online activity. According to the criminal complaint, Wagner began intensifying his attacks against ICE operations earlier this year, frequently posting on Facebook and Instagram. Prosecutors allege he urged followers to physically confront federal agents and used dehumanizing language to describe them, referring to ICE officers as “gestapo” and “murderers.”
One of the most alarming incidents occurred on January 8, 2026, when Wagner allegedly posted a video containing a direct threat aimed at ICE agents.
“I’ve already bled for this city, I’ve already fought for this city, this is nothing new, we’re ready this time, ICE we’re f—ing coming for you.”
Authorities say the threats did not stop there. The following day, Wagner allegedly escalated his rhetoric, calling on others to physically incapacitate federal officers.
“Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them.”
According to prosecutors, Wagner’s posts increasingly encouraged lethal violence. The complaint cites multiple statements that investigators say crossed the line from political speech into explicit calls for armed conflict.
“This is kill or be killed,”
“We are at f—– war.”
By mid-January, Wagner’s alleged threats became even more explicit. On January 13, he reportedly wrote:
“This is where ICE has come to die,”
He followed that with another post warning agents:
“If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f—— fun.”
Federal investigators also accuse Wagner of doxxing an individual he believed to be supportive of ICE. On January 29, Wagner allegedly posted the person’s phone number, date of birth, and home address online. According to the complaint, Wagner later acknowledged that the address belonged to the individual’s parents, raising additional concerns about reckless endangerment.
While the allegations are severe, prosecutors emphasized that a criminal complaint is not a conviction. Wagner is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. Officials said a decision on whether to pursue a formal indictment will be made in the coming weeks.
The investigation was conducted by ICE Homeland Security Investigations and falls under Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative aimed at dismantling transnational criminal networks, addressing illegal immigration, and confronting violent crime.
Federal officials say the arrest sends a clear message: threats against law enforcement—whether online or in person—will be taken seriously and prosecuted aggressively.
