"Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, is accused of posting the messages on Disneyland's official Instagram page after learning that Vance was visiting the park on July 12, according to a federal indictment. Aguayo was charged Wednesday with one count of making threats against the president and successors to the presidency, according to the complaint. It was not immediately clear whether he was in custody. Court Watch, a newsletter, was first to report the charges."
"Aguayo posted three comments threatening the vice president at 6:14 p.m. that day under the username "@jesses_andamy," according to the federal complaint filed Wednesday by U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Marjorie Edens. "Pipe bombs have been placed in preparation for J.D. Vance's arrival," the first comment read. "It's time for us to rise up and you will be a witness to it," read the second."
Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, is federally charged with making threats against the president and successors after posting false claims of planted pipe bombs at Disneyland before Vice President J.D. Vance's July 12 visit. He posted three threatening comments at 6:14 p.m. under the username "@jesses_andamy," including messages about pipe bombs, rising up, and bloodshed. The Instagram account later appeared unavailable. U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Marjorie Edens and an Anaheim Police sergeant visited Aguayo's apartment that day to question him. He initially denied involvement. Court records did not indicate whether he retained counsel.
