Feds: Man offered $500 for killing of ICE agents

A Massachusetts man who offered on social media to pay $500 to anyone who would kill a federal immigration officer was arrested Thursday, prosecutors said

Law enforcement officials said they hope the arrest of Brandon Ziobrowski, 33, sends the message that they will not tolerate what they described as a rise in threats against immigration officers and others amid increasingly heated political debates.

Ziobrowski, of Cambridge, is charged with using interstate and foreign commerce to transmit a threat to injure another person. He was arrested in New York, where he was visiting a friend. He is expected to transported back to Massachusetts.
