Skiatook Man Found Guilty by Federal Jury for Threatening to Kill Federal Agents

TULSA, Okla. - A federal jury convicted a Skiatook, Oklahoma man for making multiple posts on X threatening to shoot, kill, and gun down federal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Logan Christopher Murfin, 26, was convicted of five counts of Threatening to Assault and Murder Federal Law Enforcement Officers with Intent to Impede, Intimidate, Interfere, and Retaliate and five counts of Interstate Communication with a Threat to Injure.

"Threatening to kill hard-working federal law enforcement officers will not be tolerated," said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. "In the Northern District of Oklahoma, we will prosecute those who do to the fullest extent that federal law allows."

"This verdict underscores the seriousness with which threats against federal agents are treated. In the past year, we have seen a significant increase in violence, including death threats and assaults, toward our personnel. We will work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to ensure those who attempt to intimidate or harm federal officers are held accountable," said Travis Pickard, HSI Dallas Special Agent in Charge. "This outcome sends a clear message that such actions will not be tolerated."

According to evidence presented at trial, agents with Homeland Security Investigations received an intelligence report in October 2025 flagging threatening posts made on X about "gunning down" and shooting ICE agents. The threats were posted under the username, "Azulenq." Agents obtained search warrants to identify the user making these public online posts. The data collected from the search warrants was presented to the jury, which identified the X account user Azulenq as Murfin. The investigation showed that he was posting threatening messages from his home in Skiatook.

Murfin was indicted by a federal grand jury in December 2025. After being arrested and Mirandized, Murfin spoke with agents and stated he was angry and "pissed off" at ICE agents and admitted to making the posts on the X account. The jury heard a recording of the interview at trial.

Some of the exhibits presented to the jury and included with this press release show that Murfin's posts were in response to other users' posts about ICE agents' activities in the community, including arrests and enforcement of federal law.

Public posts made by Murfin:
October 18, 2025: Need too start shooting these "just following orders" pigs. Ice agents are reenacting ww2 nazi germany and its not acceptable. Only good ice terrorist is buried 6 feet under.

October 17, 2025: Every ICE agent needs shot between the eyes "just following orders" isn't acceptable and they already exposed they are human garbage.

October 17, 2025: Every ice gestapo needs too be shot. 2nd amendment right too carry everyone should stay armed and when these terrorists come by just kill them. They don't deserve too live after "just following orders" we aren't reliving ww2 germany. They don't want due process so show em

September 28, 2025: Nah but we as US citizens should be gunning down these domestic terrorists. All ice gestapo can not use the "just following orders" excuse. If you're complicit in this act you've gotta be executed for this act.

September 28, 2025: ice gestapo agents need to either be executed publicy. "just following orders" is not a valid excuse in modern days

Prior to trial, Murfin was on bond. He was taken into custody after the jury found him guilty and sentencing will be scheduled at a later date.

Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Scaife and Christopher J. Nassar prosecuted the case.
