A Texas man was recently arrested after authorities say he made
terroristic threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
Robert King allegedly made "alarming" social media posts, according to a statement from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas.
One post noted his intentions to "open fire" if agents are seen in his neighborhood, according to the statement.
Fox News learned some of the alleged posts included comments relating to
Noem and others claiming ICE agents are not "real cops" and have "no real authority."
HSI Dallas shared a photo Wednesday of King standing in handcuffs next to
a number of federal agents in the city of McKinney.
"Like Secretary Noem said: If you threaten or attempt to harm a law
enforcement officer we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest
extent of the law. Promises made, promises kept," a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told Fox News Digital following the
arrest.
The arrest comes after more than 40 people were taken into custody in
Texas as part of a Tren De Aragua (TdA) gang investigation.
The FBI, ICE, the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), the Texas
Department of Public Safety (DPS) and several other federal, state and
local partners spent a year investigating members and associates believed
to be part of the Venezuelan transnational gang.

AID TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: GOP REP
Early Tuesday morning, the Hays County Sheriff's Office and DPS, working
with the FBI, ICE, HSI and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO), obtained
a search warrant for a home in Hays County, which was executed by DPS�
Special Response Team.
More than 40 people, including minors, were taken into custody at or near
the home, and narcotics were seized, according to HSI San Antonio.
An ICE spokesperson told Fox News 47 illegal immigrants were apprehended.
Of those 47 people, 25 were adult men, nine were single adult women, four
were adult mothers, and nine were non-citizen children, according to the spokesperson.
They were all taken to the Austin Resident Office for processing.
"Everyone whom ICE arrested was found to be illegally present in the U.S.
and taken into ICE custody pending immigration proceedings," according to
the spokesperson.
The State Department designated TdA as a foreign terrorist organization on
Feb. 20.
The gang has thousands of members who are reportedly undertaking hostile actions against the U.S. in multiple states.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, enacted by President Donald Trump to make
it easier to detain TdA members, allows the deportation of natives and
citizens of an enemy nation without a hearing, and has previously only
been invoked during wartime.
DHS and HSI Dallas did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's
request for comment.
