Global reach, real results. When a Tucson homicide suspect fled the country, DSS acted fast — coordinating with @Tucson_Police, @USMarshalsHQ, @CBP, @HSI_HQ, and German authorities across several countries and time zones to track his flight and secure his detention when he landed in Munich. This is DSS protecting justice, worldwide.

In May, a Miami man posted threats on X threatening harm to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Kristi Noem. DSS special agents identified him, and this week he pleaded guilty in federal court.
A South Florida man has pleaded guilty to posting online threats targeting Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Threatening public officials online is not protected conduct when it constitutes a true threat—it is a federal crime that can lead to prosecution and significant penalties. Think before you post.
ALT Graphic reading, "South Florida Man Pleads Guilty to Posting Online Threats Against Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Kristi Noem, AUGUST 5, 2026."
ALT Graphic reading, "Threatening to execute public officials is not political speech, it is a federal crime. Enriquez used a public platform to issue repeated, specific threats against Secretary Rubio and Special Envoy Noem. Today's guilty plea makes clear that those who attempt to terrorize public servants or intimidate them through threats of violence will be swiftly identified, prosecuted, and held accountable." -U.S. ATTORNEY JASON A. REDING QUINONES AUGUST 5, 2026

A multi-year investigation, and a fugitive now facing U.S. justice. DSS is grateful to our partners in the Peruvian National Police and the Ministerio Público.
