Florida man pleads guilty to threatening to execute Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem
A Florida man has pleaded guilty to posting repeated threats to execute Secretary of State Marco Rubio and State Department Special Envoy Kristi Noem, according to federal prosecutors.
Jon Christopher Enriquez, 47, of Miami, pleaded guilty last Friday to three counts of transmitting threats through interstate communications, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. The threats were made in three public posts on X during the afternoon of May 27.
In the first post, Enriquez tagged Rubio, the State Department and President Donald Trump while criticizing Rubio over Cuba, according to the indictment.
“Silence yourself,” Enriquez wrote before claiming that a military court would investigate Rubio and that Rubio and Noem had been found guilty of seditious conspiracy. “Both of you will be executed at 16:30,” the post said.
In a second post directed at Rubio, Enriquez wrote that “the only way” the secretary would be silenced was “through death.”
The third post again targeted both officials and said in English and Spanish that Rubio and Noem would be executed at 4 p.m. Enriquez tagged Telemundo and also referred to Mexico’s president.
Each of the three counts carries up to five years in federal prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
