On January 14, amid protests against agents who shot a Venezuelan immigrant during an arrest attempt, a group of individuals ransacked a pair of government vehicles, stealing weapons and FBI documents. The vandals took FBI IDs, access badges, and documents listing employee phone numbers, email accounts, home addresses, and drivers licenses, the federal government wrote in a court filing last week.
The information was soon posted online, and between 10 and 15 FBI personnel then faced threats, including “multiple harassing and threatening phone calls and emails and suspicious drive-bys of their residences,” the government wrote. Shortly after the leak, someone allegedly emailed a Minnesota law enforcement official a message claiming, "We'll see how tough you are,” after they carried out a threat to “firebomb” a redacted address.
"I find it incredibly embarrassing that he's FBI, but so much is available about him and his family,” someone allegedly messaged the official’s child on Facebook. The government accuses an Illinois man, Jose Alberto Ramirez, 28, of making multiple threats to the official.
