A Florida man was arrested in Boca Raton for allegedly threatening the life of Jewish US Representative Jared Moskowitz. The suspect left a threatening voicemail at Moskowitz's office, expressing a desire to inflict physical harm on the representative, according to sources. Moskowitz's office confirmed that the suspect is currently in the Palm Beach County Jail, though their identity has not been released.
The congressman expressed gratitude to local law enforcement for quickly apprehending the suspect and keeping his family safe. His opponent in the upcoming US midterm elections, Scott Singer, condemned the threats of violence against Moskowitz, stating that such actions have no place in politics. The suspect was reportedly found in possession of firearms, body armor, and a manifesto containing antisemitic rhetoric.
This is not the first time Moskowitz has faced threats against his life; in 2024, authorities had warned him about a potential assassination plot targeting him and Jewish institutions.
