Chicago-Area Woman Arrested For Threatening To Kill President Trump And His Son Barron

Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago on Monday morning and has been charged with transmitting threats to kill or injure 45th President Donald J. Trump and his youngest son Barron.

Fiorenza is reportedly a former Chicago-area social studies teacher who was arrested by federal agents on a complaint she sent emails threatening to shoot the Trumps, federal prosecutors said. According to The Associated Press, the charges against her were filed in the U.S. District Court of southern Florida where Trump resides.

Fiorenza wrote in a May 21st email to the head of a Palm Beach educational institution near Mar-a-Lago, 

“I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!”

The Post Millennial reported that Fiorenza stated she would "slam a bullet" into Barron Trump "with his father IN SELF DEFENSE," citing an affidavit reportedly submitted by the Secret Service. When interviewed by investigators she allegedly admitted to doing so when shown copies of the emails.

The outlet found that under a now-deleted Facebook profile with the name Tracy Fiorenza De Rothschild the woman claimed to be a former social studies teacher with the Chicago public school system and repeatedly posted about the "Trump family Hollywood pedophile ring in the Arts," and making various unfounded claims about Trump and his family.

Post Millennial reported she wrote on August 20th, "The Trump family Hollywood pedophile ring in the Arts followed home staff and students from Oxbridge Academy and Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland."

She added, "Barron Trump was enrolled in classes at both educational institutions but never physically attended a single day of classes or was seen in person. Although Barron Trump is branded with a genius IQ in both the Sciences and Arts, in reality, he is performing SIGNIFICANTLY below grade level."

CBS News in Chicago reported that Fiorenza made her initial court appearance Monday afternoon and the judge stated she must go to the U.S. District Court in Florida to answer the charges. The judge will decide at a Wednesday hearing how she will be transferred to the Florida Federal Court. The outlet reported that Fiorenza was confirmed to be a Chicago Public Schools employee from 2019 until September 30, 2020, when she was fired. CPS refused to confirm if she was actually a teacher.

The Chicago Tribune's Jason Meisner shared the federal criminal complaint via X, writing, "Tracy Marie Fiorenza, 41, of Chicago, was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint filed in Florida charging her with threatening to kill Donald Trump and his son, Barron. She’ll be in court in Chicago later today. The charges were first reported by CourtWatch."
