The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed federal charges against a radical leftist who was arrested on domestic terrorism charges over recent violent attacks.
On Monday, Jamison Wagner was arrested for launching a pair of allegedly politically charged attacks, Breitbart reported.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the 40-year-old’s arrest for a firebombing at a New Mexico Tesla dealership and the New Mexico Republican headquarters.
Bondi announced the arrest in a statement that followed her tough-on-crime philosophy:
“We have made an arrest in connection to the February firebombing of a New Mexico Tesla dealership and the March attack on the New Mexico Republican Party Headquarters,” Bondi announced.
“We will be prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law.
“We are seeking up to 40 years in prison—no negotiating,” Bondi continued.
She went on to thank the agencies who made it happen, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“More details to come,” she promised.
Wagner is accused of firebombing a dealership that sells the vehicles made by Elon Musk’s Tesla company.
He also allegedly set fire to a doorway of the political headquarters, which caused interior smoke damage as well.
The Justice Department released a statement on the alleged crimes, stating Wagner was connected “to both incidents through surveillance footage and scene evidence.”
Bondi made it clear that these moves would not go unpunished.
“Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” Bondi is quoted in the statement.
“We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate,” she promised.
“Crimes have consequences,” Bondi added.
Federal agencies got involved on the basis that these attacks were domestic terrorism motivated by political bias.
FBI Director Kash Patel credited his agency’s “aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country” for the arrest.
“Thank you to our agents and support teams in Albuquerque who did an outstanding job executing the mission,” Patel said before also thanking Bondi.
According to the New York Post, Wagner is identified as a “lipstick-wearing” man “listed as a member of LGBT group 500 Queer Scientists.”
The Breaking911 account on X shared his photo and those of the alleged crimes.
“Jamison Wagner, 40, charged federally for arson attacks at Tesla, Republican Party of New Mexico headquarters,” the post is captioned.
“Wagner faces 2 counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives.
“If convicted, he faces between 5 & 20 years in prison for each count,” the account added.
The photo of Wagner indeed shows the man wearing a long hairstyle and blue lipstick.

These kinds of attacks have happened more frequently since President Donald Trump took office.
However, it seems the alleged perpetrators like Wagner will face justice now that the Justice Department and others are finally serious about crime.
