A Georgia man was sentenced Monday to more than three years in federal prison for threatening to kill President Donald Trump, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.

Jauan Rashun Porter, 30, of Rome, Georgia, was sentenced to three years and five months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Porter has been in federal custody since Aug. 8, 2025. He pleaded guilty on Oct. 7, 2025, to one count of transmitting interstate threats.

Prosecutors said the threats were made on July 26, 2025, during a TikTok livestream about President Trump captioned “Alligator Alcatraz.” During the broadcast, Porter commented, “So there’s only one way to make America great and that is putting a bullet in between Trump’s eyes.”

According to court records, Porter continued making threats over several minutes, stating, “I’m gonna kill Donald Trump. I’m gonna put a 7.62 bullet inside his forehead.” He also said, “I’m gonna watch him bleed out and I’m gonna watch him die,” and claimed he planned to attend an upcoming rally and shoot the president.

Prosecutors said Porter further described loading a rifle and firing from an abandoned building. When asked during the livestream about law enforcement responding to his threats, Porter allegedly replied, “I’m gonna kill them too . . . and then kill myself.”

Following the threats, U.S. Secret Service agents, Floyd County police officers, and Georgia probation officers searched Porter’s apartment. Authorities found two pipes, pistol ammunition, and Tannerite, a high-explosive material often used in illegal or dangerous activities. No firearm was recovered during the search.

Court records show Porter has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple felony convictions in Floyd County. His prior convictions include terroristic threats and acts in 2018 and 2019, influencing a witness in 2019, and committing an unlawful act of violence while incarcerated in 2023.

At the time he made the threats, Porter was on probation for a 2023 conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and battery domestic violence.

U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg condemned the threats, calling them a serious criminal offense. “Threatening to kill the President of the United States is an abhorrent crime that cannot be tolerated,” Hertzberg said. “Because the Constitution affords no protection to political violence, we will continue to work closely with our federal partners to identify and prosecute criminals who make such threats.”

Federal officials emphasized that threats against the president are taken seriously regardless of whether a suspect possesses a weapon at the time and warned that online rhetoric advocating political violence will result in severe consequences.
