<\/p>\r\nAn Oklahoma man has been arrested and charged after citing the Trail of Tears<\/a> and the Muscogee Nation’s Treaty of 1866<\/a> when making violent threats against President Joe Biden.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nJohn Jacobs Ahrens, 58, was charged in federal court<\/a> on Monday with one count of making a threat against the president of the United States<\/a>. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma<\/a>, he sent multiple messages about Biden and the U.S. Congress to the KOTV news station<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nOn May 10, for example, Ahrens threatened members of the legislative branch. According to the complaint, he wrote: \u201cThey have less than 48 hours to hand over my money or their children will start dying all over the country. I\u2019m going to kill their children using the same law as the Government used to force our families on to the Trail of Tears.\u201d\r\n

<\/p>\r\nA month later, Ahrens send another threat, according to federal authorities. On June 10, he wrote: \u201cI just sent an ultimatum to the White House.\u201d\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\u201cAmerica is going to get to see a sitting President get his head blown off right in front of them,\u201d he added, according to the complaint.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nA week after that, Ahrens brought up the Treaty of 1866. He made an unspecified demand for money.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\u201cYou have until Monday morning 8:00 am sharp to hand a check over to the State of Oklahoma, the Muscogee Nation and my family in accordance with a signed agreement as set forth in the Treaty of 1866,\u201d Ahrens wrote on June 17, according to federal authorities.\r\n
