(DC Pundit) – A 29-year-old Minnesota man is learning the hard way that threatening a sitting U.S. Attorney General is not a good idea. Tyler Maxon Avalos of St. Paul was arrested after federal agents tracked down a murder-for-hire TikTok post offering a $45,000 bounty for the assassination of Attorney General Pam Bondi — a blatant call for political violence that the Left’s social media darlings would rather ignore.
According to the Tampa Free Press, Avalos is now facing federal charges for “Interstate Transmission of a Threat to Injure the Person of Another,” a serious violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875(c).
The investigation began on October 9, 2025, when a Detroit-based TikTok user reported the disturbing video to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC). The video showed a photo of Pam Bondi with a red sniper scope aimed directly at her forehead. The chilling text read:
“WANTED: Pam Bondi”
“REWARD: $45,000”
“DEAD OR ALIVE (PREFERABLY DEAD)”

Federal agents immediately deemed the post a credible threat against the life of the Attorney General. Within hours, the FBI had TikTok hand over emergency account data, which led investigators straight to Avalos. The account had been created on a Samsung Galaxy tied to an email address containing his real name, not exactly a masterclass in criminal intelligence.
From there, agents traced the activity through Google and Comcast, pinpointing the IP address to Avalos’s residence in St. Paul. Surveillance confirmed his presence at the location, and his name was even listed on the mailbox. It didn’t take long for U.S. Magistrate Judge Becky Cowan Wright to issue a warrant for his arrest, based on an affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Jurchisin from the Minneapolis Division.

Court documents reveal Avalos has a violent criminal record, which prosecutors say highlights just how dangerous he is.
Pam Bondi, a fierce conservative known for her loyalty to President Trump and her unapologetic defense of law and order, has long been a target of the Left’s hatred.
