@mcbeanimmigrationlaw: Making threatening social media posts is not very smart and can get you arrested under federal law! Interstate Threatening Communications: What the Law Says Under 18 U.S.C. § 875, it’s a federal crime to send threats through interstate or foreign communications — including emails, texts, phone calls, and social media. Here’s the breakdown: • Ransom Demands: Up to 20 years in prison. • Threats to Kidnap or Harm (with intent to extort): Up to 20 years. • Threats to Kidnap or Harm (without extortion): Up to 5 years. • Threats to Property or Reputation (with intent to extort): Up to 2 years. Bottom line: Even one message that crosses state lines can carry severe federal penalties. #FederalLaw #Threats #InterstateCommunications #CyberLaw #fyp
