SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A 52-year-old San Antonio man was arrested Thursday night on charges related to an alleged threat against President Donald Trump. Robert Herrera, using the handle “Robert Herrer,” reportedly made threatening comments on a Facebook post about Trump’s planned visit to the Texas Hill Country.

According to court documents, Herrera commented, “I won’t miss,” alongside a photo of Trump surrounded by U.S. Secret Service agents after a July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. A separate Facebook user replied to “Robert Herrer,” stating, “you won’t get the chance, I promise,” to which Herrera allegedly responded, “I’ll just come for you,” accompanied by a photo of an assault rifle and loaded magazines.

Herrera faces federal charges of making threats against the President and interstate threatening communications. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison for each charge. A federal district court judge will determine the sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

“This case is an example of great cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement partners committed to taking down anyone who would threaten the life of the President or anyone else,” said U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas. “I want to thank Chief McManus and his team at SAPD for their swift response to this threat.”

Special Agent in Charge Brian J. Gibson for the U.S. Secret Service San Antonio Field Office expressed gratitude to the San Antonio Police Department and the FBI San Antonio Field Office for their assistance. “Investigating threats towards individuals under Secret Service protection are treated as our highest priority,” he stated.

Special Agent in Charge Aaron Tapp of the FBI’s San Antonio Field Office emphasized the seriousness of such threats. “While the FBI fully supports and defends every American’s right to free speech, it is important to understand that threatening violence against any individual is not constitutionally protected speech, it is a federal crime,” he said.

Chief William McManus of the San Antonio Police Department commended the individual who reported the threat. “SAPD remains committed to working alongside our federal partners to ensure that threats of violence are taken seriously and addressed quickly,” he stated.
