Taylor Prigmore, a 30-year-old from McLoud, Oklahoma, has been indicted on multiple federal charges after posting online threats against President Donald Trump, MAGA supporters, and law enforcement officers. The threats, which began in May 2025, culminated in an arrest on January 19, 2026, during which he fired shots at FBI agents. Prosecutors describe the posts as calls for violence, including references to the Second Amendment.
Federal authorities in Oklahoma have charged Taylor Prigmore with attempted murder of law enforcement officers, assault on federal officers, and several counts of making threats. According to the Justice Department, Prigmore's online activity on YouTube started escalating on May 9, 2025, when he posted: "Be brave. Say it where ever you go. Kill feds. Buy a gun. This is life and death."
The posts continued into early 2026. On January 16, 2026, Prigmore wrote about anticipating a civil war and urged preparation for killing federal agents and MAGA supporters, stating: "I can't wait for the civil war. … Kill kill you MAGA f—s." The next day, January 17, he commented: "Our presidents needs to die to save lives," and added that the Second Amendment was for "Ending MAGA." He also expressed intent to kill law enforcement officers who might approach his home, aiming to take out as many as possible.
In another January 17 post, Prigmore claimed: "It's not sarcasm. I live in america. I am prepping physically and mentally to kill federal agents." He accused federal agencies like ICE of serious crimes and vowed to target those involved.
On January 19, 2026, FBI agents arrested Prigmore at his residence following these threats. During a brief standoff, he fired multiple rounds from a Hi-Point model Luger C9 9mm semiautomatic pistol at the officers, but no one was injured. Investigators recovered the weapon afterward.
A federal grand jury indicted Prigmore on February 17, 2026, on charges including four counts of threatening to murder federal officers and two counts of communicating threats. If convicted, he faces up to 100 years in prison and fines of up to $2.25 million. Prigmore is scheduled for arraignment on Thursday.
