HSI Arrests Convicted Murderer Who Sent Threats to ICE Director, Saying ICE Law Enforcement Officers Should Have “Two F**king Bullets to the Back of Their Nazi Maggot Heads”

Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that on April 10, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) San Francisco arrested U.S. citizen Daniel Barber for sending a violent death threat to Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

"Your Gestapo Nazi maggot ICE agents should be terrified," Barber said in an email sent on June 6, 2025. He added that ICE law enforcement officers "deserve" to be "executed right there as well with two f**king bullets to the back of their maggot Nazi heads!"

Barber added, "And that is not a threat, you little f**king b*tch, but simply my opinion as to what those worms deserve. I'll be f**king praying daily to the universe Americans start rising up and giving them, and you, exactly that."

After receiving this email, ICE launched an investigation and identified Daniel Barber as the person who sent the email. Barber was arrested on April 10, 2026 for the threats. He has a lengthy criminal history, including a conviction for murder and robbery with intent to cause bodily harm in 1990. He also has multiple arrests for burglary, battery, and vehicle theft.

"This convicted murderer sent this disgusting death threat to ICE Director Todd Lyons," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop."

The arrest comes as sanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement. As our ICE law enforcement officers remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists from American communities, they are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults, an 8,000% increase in death threats, and a more than 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks
