Federal agents arrested a Chicago woman Monday, accusing her of sending emails threatening to shoot former President Donald Trump and his son Barron, according to federal prosecutors and a recently unsealed criminal indictment.
Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, was arrested Monday morning on charges of sending threats to kill or injure, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Chicago.
The case was filed in U.S. District Court in South Florida earlier this month, but was only unsealed this week.
“I will declare that I am Donald Trump Sr. AND will shoot Barron Trump right in the face at every opportunity I get!” Fiorenza said in a May 21 email that federal agents say they sent.
The letter was sent to the head of an educational institution in the Palm Beach, Florida area, according to an affidavit accompanying the complaint. Palm Beach is near Trump’s home in Florida’s Mar-A-Lago.

Fiorenza, who has this meme posted to her Facebook account along with an incoherent post, is accused of sending emails threatening to shoot former President Donald Trump and his son Barron, according to federal prosecutors and a recently failed sealed criminal indictment
Fiorenza allegedly wrote a similar email on June 5 saying she was going to “put a bullet in with his dad” IN SELF-DEFENSE!
A Facebook profile for Fiorenza’s features several anti-Trump posts and posts espousing conspiracy theories about elite Hollywood pedophile circles.
Fiorenza once posted a cartoon meme of Trump in handcuffs with the caption, “I have a dream…”
Many of the posts also featured images of the former president being hanged from a tree.
She also regularly uses social media to accuse Oprah Winfrey, former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, and music producer Calvin Harris of various crimes.
An Instagram post reiterates the oft-debunked conspiracy theory that Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell and Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington — both confirmed to have died by suicide — were murdered.
She has multiple posts calling for the arrest of the former president and theories about the Illuminati on her Facebook wall.
Neither the principal nor the school to which the emails were allegedly sent was named in the indictment documents.
It was not immediately clear whether Fiorenza had a lawyer who could speak on her behalf.
Fiorenza is said to have written a similar email on June 5, saying she would “take a bullet with his father” in SELF-DEFENSE! on Barron Trump (pictured left), according to a statement from a US Secret Service agent.

CBS News Chicago reported that that Fiorenza made her first appearance in U.S. District Court in Chicago on Monday afternoon, and a judge said she should go to Florida District Court to answer the charges.
The judge will decide on a Wednesday session how she will be transferred.
Agents interviewed Fiorenza on June 14 at the Chicago bureau field, where she was shown copies of the emails, according to the affidavit. She admitted to sending the emails, officers said.
According to the affidavit, Fiorenza lives in Plainfield, Illinois, a suburb in southwest Chicago.
Political violence and threats in a polarized United States have increased in recent years. A Reuters report released earlier this month showed such violence was at its worst since the 1970s.
