DEVELOPING: Trump Assassination Threat Emerges After FBI Arrest for Attempted Firebombing

A man accused of trying to attack a U.S. Embassy and threatening former President Trump has been arrested and brought back to the U.S. to face federal charges.

28-year-old Joseph Neumeyer, a dual U.S.-German citizen from Colorado, was arrested by FBI agents at JFK Airport in New York after being deported from Israel. According to the Department of Justice, Neumeyer tried to firebomb the U.S. Embassy’s branch office in Tel Aviv on May 19. He reportedly left a backpack filled with Molotov cocktails near the embassy and was later tracked down and arrested by Israeli authorities at his hotel.

The DOJ and FBI both confirmed that Neumeyer had also posted threats on social media targeting Americans, the West in general, and specifically former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. One post said: “Join me as I burn down the embassy in Tel Aviv. Death to America, death to Americans…”

After his arrest in Israel, he was deported and immediately taken into U.S. custody upon arrival in New York. He has since appeared in federal court, where he was denied bail and ordered held until trial.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi said that Neumeyer’s actions will be prosecuted to the “fullest extent of the law,” making it clear that threats against American lives and institutions—abroad or at home—will not be tolerated.

FBI Director Kash Patel echoed that stance, emphasizing the seriousness of threatening the former president and carrying out attempted attacks on U.S. embassies. The DOJ stated that Neumeyer could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

But there’s another layer of concern: Why wasn’t he stopped sooner?

According to social media records, Neumeyer had been making disturbing threats for weeks, even months, before his actual attack attempt. Some of those threats were quite open and direct. Many people are questioning how he managed to fly under the radar for so long, despite these very public digital footprints.

And then there’s the broader question: Why was he brought back to the U.S. at all?

Given his dual citizenship, open hatred for America, and direct threats against a former president and American institutions, some are arguing that he should not have been returned to U.S. soil at all. Instead, some say he should’ve been left to face justice elsewhere — in Israel, Germany, or even held in a facility like Guantanamo Bay.

While there is something satisfying about him facing justice here in American courts, there’s a valid concern about why someone who so clearly hates this country gets to be tried in this country — especially when others are treated with much less leniency for far less dangerous behavior.

Bottom line?
Neumeyer’s case highlights serious questions not just about domestic security and online threat monitoring, but also about how we define citizenship and justice for individuals who take aim at the very heart of the country they technically belong to.

Let’s hope justice is truly served — and that others like him don’t continue to slip through the cracks.
