Portland anti-ICE activist accused of threatening a pro-Trump child and sending death threats online is now charged with trying to torch a Tesla facility using a flamethrower.
Authorities say he also stole nearly $1 million from a former employer.
A Portland far-left extremist accused of making violent threats against a Nevada elected official, a child and President Donald Trump is now facing a cascade of federal and state charges after authorities say he also attempted to torch a Tesla facility with a flamethrower and stole nearly $1 million from a former employer.
Travis William Juhr, 41, was indicted last week by a federal grand jury in Portland on charges of transmitting interstate threats to injure. Prosecutors say the threats targeted conservative Clark County Commissioner April Becker of Nevada, as well as a 13-year-old conservative boy who attended a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement counterprotest in Portland.
Juhr was a regular attendee at leftist demonstrations and riots outside the Portland ICE facility. He was often seen wearing a bomber-style jacket and was recorded on livestreams making threats to Trump supporters.
