Florida AG Announces Arrest in Case of Death Threats Against Jewish Conservative Media

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Monday that his office had secured the arrest of a Texas man accused of making multiple, specific death threats against Jewish conservative media members living in Florida. The keyphrase death threats against Jewish conservative media echoes throughout the case presented by the AG’s office.

The suspect, identified as Nicholas Ray of Spring, Texas, age 28, was arrested Monday evening in Texas. He was taken into custody in Montgomery County on a felony warrant issued by Florida authorities following an investigation by the Office of Statewide Prosecution. The case highlights the nature of death threats against Jewish conservative media as a cross-state criminal matter.

According to the arrest record, Ray was booked as a fugitive from justice for an out-of-state felony. Florida’s Attorney General office said it was notified last week of the threats and, after investigating, obtained a warrant for Ray’s arrest on charges of extortion, written threats to kill, and the unlawful use of a two-way communication device. All of these stem from the broader pattern of death threats against Jewish conservative media.

Ray is expected to be extradited to Florida to face the charges. The arrest was carried out by the Texas Department of Public Safety under Texas’ cooperation with Florida authorities. His extradition will bring the case into the Florida justice system where the alleged threats were targeted at media figures residing in that state.

AG Uthmeier emphasized that his office will “leave no stone unturned” in responding to threats directed at media and noted the importance of protecting journalists and commentators—including those aligned with conservative media—against intimidation. This statement underscores the broader concern about the prevalence of death threats against Jewish conservative media and the need for inter-state enforcement.

As the case moves to Florida for prosecution, observers will watch whether it prompts broader policy changes regarding protections for media figures and cross-state coordination of law-enforcement efforts. The arrest in this case sets a precedent for how death threats against Jewish conservative media are treated when they cross state lines and involve multiple jurisdictions.
