Feds find guns, body armor in home of man charged for threatening to shoot ICE agents


An Ohio man who allegedly threatened to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had a cache of firearms and body armor in his home at the time of his arrest, federal authorities said.

Justin Mesael Novoa, a 21-year-old of Columbus, was charged with “making threatening interstate communications, including threats to assault or murder a federal law enforcement officer,” the Department of Justice announced on Thursday.

press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Ohio, cites charging documents that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) received information in December 2025 regarding threats to ICE posted to X and that an investigation revealed the suspect allegedly posted  “they should blast every ice agent they find” in June 2025.
