An Arizona man, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, has been arrested and charged with making threats to kill President-elect Donald Trump and members of his family. The threats were made in a series of videos posted on social media, where Tamayo-Torres brandished an AR-15-style rifle and made explicit threats against Trump's life and his family's safety. The videos included statements like, 'You're going to die, your son is going to die, your whole family is going to die.' Tamayo-Torres also attended a Trump rally in Glendale, Arizona, shortly after an assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. He faces felony charges for these threats, and his actions have drawn significant attention from law enforcement and the public.
