Miranda Perez, a Florida woman, pleaded guilty to making threats against President Donald Trump and was sentenced to 246 days of time served plus two years of probation. The threat was posted on Facebook in July 2025, referencing Trump's golf course. She faces restrictions including no social media and a mental health evaluation.
Miranda Perez pleaded guilty on Tuesday to making written or electronic threats to kill or do bodily injury, according to court records. She received 246 days of time served and two years of probation. The court ordered her to stay away from Trump, his family, and properties, and prohibited social media use during probation. She is also barred from possessing firearms, ammunition, or weapons, and must undergo a mental health evaluation and follow recommended treatment. On July 14, 2025, the 34-year-old Perez posted on Facebook: 'Hey Trump I'ma go to your Gulf course an be the next shooter lol I'm bored,' with emojis of laughter and raised hands, ending with 'be there soon' and a smiling face emoji. Authorities linked the profile to Perez through photos matching her state ID and a prior booking photo. This follows a 2019 incident where Perez threatened to shoot up Barton Elementary School in Palm Beach County after learning her children would transfer there. She admitted to the messages but said she would not act on them. Found seriously mentally ill, she surrendered firearms, was deemed incompetent to stand trial, and the case was dismissed in 2021. The recent case proceeded after she was found competent, changing her plea from not guilty. President Trump survived assassination attempts in 2024: a sniper at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Ryan Routh at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September, who was sentenced to life in prison.
