SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – On July 16, 2026, a grand jury returned an indictment against Humberty Jesús Carrillo-García, 22, from Gurabo, for making threatening interstate communications between March and June 2026 in violation of 18 U.S.C. 875(c), announced Héctor Ramírez-Carbó, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. The defendant was arrested on July 20, 2026, and remains detained pending trial.“This individual made statements about his desire to do harm to various groups of people, including federal and state law enforcement, and motivated others to commit acts of violence against multiple groups of people. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has no tolerance for illegal threats, especially threats that target innocent people,” said Acting U.S.

Attorney Ramírez-Carbó. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to protect our community from those individuals who jeopardize our public safety.” “This individual publicly expressed a desire to commit acts of violence against multiple groups—including federal and state law enforcement, members of our armed forces, religious communities, and the public at large—and attempted to motivate others to do the same. Threats of domestic terrorism, religious‑motivated violence, and harm against our servicemembers or public institutions are intolerable. The U.S.

Attorney’s Office has zero tolerance for illegal threats designed to intimidate or endanger innocent people,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Ramírez‑Carbó. “We will continue working closely with our law enforcement partners to protect our community and respond decisively to anyone who threatens our public safety.”“Threatening federal government employees, and inciting violence of any kind, against members of our community, is unacceptable and the FBI will not allow this type of behavior to impact the quality of life of our people,” said Carlos Goris, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s San Juan Field Office. “Puerto Rico and the U.S.

Virgin Islands are generally joyful communities, where this type of violence is unheard of, and we will continue to work with our local, and federal law enforcement partners to keep it that way. As always, we encourage anyone to report suspicious behavior to the FBI and local authorities, before it's too late.”According to the indictment and the motion for detention, Carrillo-García used TikTok and X (previously Twitter) to post threats to do harm to various groups. The defendant identified himself as a Nazi, has emphasized his idea/desire of killing Jewish people, American soldiers, and other groups. He has also highlighted his desire to carry out a terroristic attack.

The defendant posted videos of himself speaking about his desire to do harm to various groups of people and to bomb different locations – with the intent to scare people. Here are examples of Carrillo-García’s interstate threats published on social media:The Defendant posted publicly on X pictures of himself holding a knife and stating that he would use it to tear apart American soldiers and Jews, as well as another picture of himself with a machete.The Defendant posted a public video in which he says that arms must be taken up against the United States, and he calls on the listener to shoot at North American soldiers, hit and stab Jews, burn “gringo” businesses, and to burn Jewish synagogues and Judeo Cristian churches including Jehovah’s Witnesses and Pentecostal churches.The Defendant posted a public video in which he says that police and CIA agents must be killed.The Defendant posted a public video in which he states that various locations must be bombed, including the White House, Fort Buchannan, Camp Santiago, First Bank, Oriental Bank, Banco Popular, and the United States Post Office.The Defendant posted public videos in which he states and demonstrates with a knife and stick that “yankees” and “gringos” should be cut and beat to death, and he also states that Police of Puerto Rico must be killed.Each of the five counts of conviction carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
