He claimed to be Trump's 'assassin,' officials say. SoCal man pleads not guilty to threats
He openly advocated for the death of then-President-elect Donald Trump, hailing himself as an 'assassin' and threatening to shoot the would-be 47th commander-in-chief shortly after the election, prosecutors say. Those words, left on Facebook posts, are at the center of a federal grand jury indictment. On Tuesday, Yucca Valley resident Thomas Eugene Streavel, 73, pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of making threats. The San Bernardino County man was arrested Monday just before 11 a.m. by United States Marshals and arraigned the next day inside Central District Court in Riverside. He's out on a $10,000 bond and is expected back in court July 28. Streavel could serve up to 15 years in prison if found guilty on all counts. 'This defendant is charged with threatening the life of our President — a man who has already survived two deranged attempts on his life,' said U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi in a statement. 'The Department of Justice takes these threats with the utmost seriousness and will prosecute this crime to the fullest extent of the law.' A number listed for Streavel was not answered, and no attorney was listed for him in court documents. His actions were detailed in a grand jury indictment from May 29 that was unsealed Tuesday.

'[T]rump is a dead man walking for the time being until a patriot like myself blows his [expletive] brains out in the very near future,' Streavel posted on Nov. 6., according to court documents. Six days later, Streavel posted on Facebook that he was 'willing to make America great again and blow his [expletive] brains out,' the indictment says. There were similar Facebook rants on Nov. 19 and on 28. In the earlier instance, he wrote, 'Let me put a bullet right between the ears of your president-elect…That's my purpose for living,' according to the indictment. He later posted, 'I'm praying for a successful assassination of your president-elect.' He then added, 'my life's mission is killing the worthless LOSER [expletive] and my mission starts tonight so watch yourself trump [sic], you are a dead [expletive] and I am your assassin,' court documents show.

The Secret Service is also investigating the matter. 'The type of rhetoric and threats made by this defendant are similar to those that led to an attempt on the President's life last year,' said United States Atty. Bill Essayli. 'There is no place for political violence or threats of violence in the United States." Trump was injured in a shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13. The shooting left one rally attendee dead and two critically injured, and the unidentified gunman was killed by the Secret Service, according to that agency. At Trump's West Palm Beach, Fla., golf course on Sept. 15, a Secret Service agent scoping out the area one or two holes ahead of him saw the muzzle of an AK-47-style weapon pointing out of the tree line on the perimeter of the course. Trump was unharmed in the second attempt on his life in two months. Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.

Create Account Cunningham, 43, who had been sprung on bail three times, was arrested by the United States Marshals in Atlanta on Wednesday and is being held pending extradition back to Canada. Each time the gun runner breached his bail … he got bail again. The Bolo Program (be on the lookout) had been offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the 43-year-old. He had been wanted on a bench warrant, a Superior Court Bench Warrant, a surety warrant and failure to comply with a release order. Cunningham was arrested in June 2018 as part of Project Patton, an investigation into a cross-border gun-smuggling ring that brought firearms from the U.S. to the streets of Canada. GOT GUNS? Kamar Cunningham in May 2018. Photo by Handout / Toronto Police On Nov. 27, 2020, Cunningham was convicted of several firearms trafficking charges. But hope springs eternal in the criminal milieu, and he was sprung on bail while awaiting sentencing. Cunningham was sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia on May 4, 2021, but by that time, he was in the wind and skipped his court date.

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. A Canada-wide warrant was then issued for his arrest. Cops say the convicted firearms trafficker was on bail for the third time when he skipped out on sentencing. At a March 19, 2024, press conference, Toronto Police Supt. Steve Watts told reporters that Project Patton was the largest seizure of firearms in the city's history at the time, with around 75 arrests. 'He has been released on bail three times,' Watts said of Cunningham. 'Each time he has violated his release conditions before being arrested and released on bail again … Not surprisingly, he did not appear once again for a sentencing hearing.' Handguns seized during Project Patton. Photo by Handout / Toronto Police Bolo director Maxime Langlois was puzzled as to why a convicted gun runner was out on bail, particularly after breaching three previous orders. 'This is the first time Bolo has had the displeasure of featuring a convicted criminal in a Toronto campaign,' Langlois said at the time. 'How is that even possible? … In six years of running Bolo, I've never heard such a lax application of bail by our courts.' He added: 'We're talking here about someone who had repeatedly shown a disregard for the rule of law, who had broken his bail conditions time and again, who was convicted of trafficking firearms and who, despite all this, was allowed to remain in the community.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Detectives had believed Cunningham had been hiding in plain sight in Toronto and 'continuing his criminal activities.' Cops also looked into the possibility that the Jamaican-born criminal was hiding on the Caribbean island. Watts added that the vast majority of the guns seized in GTA crimes are illegal firearms. 'Many of these weapons find their way onto our streets and find their way through illicit channels across the U.S.-Canadian border and into the hands of criminals who show absolutely no regard for human life,' he said in 2024. Police thanked the U.S. Marshals Service, Toronto Crime Stoppers and the Bolo Program for their assistance in nabbing Cunningham stateside. bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Canada Sunshine Girls Canada Columnists Toronto Maple Leafs
