Joseph Giancola Jr. was taken into custody on Thursday during a predawn raid at a home in Cape Coral, Florida.
Homeland Security Investigations agents used a battering ram to force entry to the residence, which is reportedly owned by Giancola’s daughter, Anna.
A woman can be heard yelling at agents in the front yard during the operation.
Once inside, agents searched the residence, confiscated computers, and arrested the 74-year-old suspect.
On Friday, DHS announced that Giancola had been threatening to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Bluesky, an X alternative popular with radical leftists.
Giancola is accused of operating under the pseudonym “Cain Delon” and writing the following statements:
- âShoot the ICE Nazis down like the rabid dogs they areâ
- âJust get a gun and shoot the ICE Nazis downâ
- âStart by shooting ice thugs deadâ
- âShoot those ice thugs deadâ
- âShoot the ICE agents downâ
- âThey come near me, and I shoot to kill. Be warnedâ
- âShoot these thugs deadâ
- âGet out your guns and shoot them downâ
Giancola Jr. was scheduled to appear in court on Friday afternoon.
âThis cowardly individual made repeated disgusting death threats against ICE law enforcement officers. He is now in federal custody and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,â saidâŻDHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
âOur ICE law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threatsâŻagainst them while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members. From bounties placed on their heads for their murders, threats to their families, stalking, and doxxing online, our officers are experiencing an unprecedented level of violence and threats against them and their families. Threaten violence or death to our law enforcement? Youâll end up behind bars like this guy.â
Assaults on ICE officers are up 1,000% this year as illegal aliens and radical leftists become increasingly brazen in their resistance to immigration law enforcement.
