The FBI has arrested a Michigan man who allegedly posted online threats saying he would mass shoot conservative Christians if former President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, according to newly unsealed charging documents.

Isaac Sissel was arrested yesterday in Canton, Michigan, just two days after law enforcement reviewed his online posting.

The criminal complaint says Reddit previously reported Sissel to the FBI in late September because of various accounts he had with threatening usernames, including “ShootUpTrulyRally,” “WillShootTrumpSoon,” “PlannigToShootTrump” and “PlanningToKillTrump.”

Law enforcement contacted Sissel yesterday at a Travelodge hotel in Canton and found no weapons in a consent search of his room, although the affidavit notes that “this was not surprising given that SISSEL had stated (in his online post) that he “hid the gun”. “

Sissel also told agents that Trump “was a threat … who should have been killed and that everything would be better if Trump were dead,” the affidavit said. While he said he would not personally assassinate Trump, he told agents he believed there would be violence during the election “and would not rule out joining Antifa to protest.”

According to the affidavit, Sissel is a transient who most recently lived on the University of Michigan campus and has multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest on charges of stalking, harassment and communications harassment.

The arrest underscores the FBI’s aggressive response to counter a wave of violent threats surrounding the presidential election, particularly in the wake of the two assassination attempts against Trump. In the affidavit, the FBI specifically noted Trump’s plans to appear in Michigan for a rally Monday night.

According to his court filing, Sissel had not been arraigned and had not entered a plea to the charge as of Tuesday afternoon. He has not yet been assigned a lawyer.
