- On Oct. 16, federal agents detained Tyler Maxon Avalos in Minnesota after a tip revealed he allegedly posted a TikTok offering a $45,000 bounty on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

- Public-Safety officials worry the case highlights social media's role in soliciting violence, as Avalos faces federal charges over a $45,000 bounty on Bondi, linked to 'Wacko' and 'An Anarchist FAQ' links.
