Three College Students Face Federal Charges over Alleged Threats Against Trump Ahead of Campus Rally
Federal affidavits say the posts triggered Secret Service and FBI intervention, and each student could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
- Hours before President Donald Trump took the stage at the University of South Alabama's Mitchell Center in Mobile, federal agents arrested three students accused of posting violent threats against him online.
- Investigators utilized emergency disclosure requests and social media monitoring to identify the accounts, working alongside University police to unmask the students before Trump's Friday rally.
- Cameron Lamark Lewis allegedly invoked a fatal 2025 campus shooting on social media, while Amare Jemal Woods and Kayla Leaann Smith reportedly posted threats on TikTok citing violent intent regarding the visit.
- A federal magistrate ordered the three students detained pending further hearings, and if convicted under federal statutes, each faces up to five years in prison for threatening Trump.
- Jason Darley, representing Woods, argued the posts lacked genuine violent intent, highlighting the challenge courts face distinguishing protected online expression from criminal threats against Trump.
