Isaac Sissel’s arrest reveals the growing danger of violence tied to Donald Trump’s reelection. Threats will always exist. But what can we do to better mitigate these risks? Details of the Arrest A 25-year-old Michigan man, Isaac Sissel, was apprehended for allegedly planning a mass shooting against Christians if Donald Trump secured a victory in the 2024 presidential election. Sissel, expressing his hatred for conservative Christians, threatened to carry out his plan using a stolen AR-15 rifle. The threats were communicated to the FBI, and Sissel was taken into custody before Trump was declared the election winner. The FBI’s Detroit field office, in conjunction with the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force, is handling the ongoing investigation. Sissel appeared in federal court on the same day of his arrest, underscoring the seriousness of the threat and swift law enforcement response. Details of the investigation suggest a premeditated plan driven by political animosities surrounding the election.
