A Portland, Oregon, man is facing federal charges after authorities say he posted on social media threats to “mag dump Trump,” among other violent statements targeting public officials.
According to a criminal complaint, the investigation began after the United States Secret Service alerted the FBI in Portland to Facebook posts attributed to 41-year-old Travis Juhr, a military veteran.
The affidavit states that as of early February 2026, the FBI Portland Field Office had received at least six reports of threatening behavior involving Juhr, along with additional complaints through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.
A concerned citizen reported that Juhr had written, “I can’t wait till Trump is dead, I might even participate!” In another post that could not be located but was described by the reporting party, Juhr allegedly stated he wanted to “mag dump Trump” — slang for emptying a firearm’s magazine at a target.

Meanwhile, according to the complaint, an earlier incident in December 2025 involved threats made by Juhr on X. One account under the username “Captain Gaymerica” allegedly posted a message directed at a Nevada elected official that read: “I’m coming down to Nevada for you. I hope you have your doors and windows locked. Because I love a challenge when hunting my PREY. #MAGAHuntersPDX.” The post included a photograph of the official.
In a separate incident, another account allegedly tied to Juhr sent violent messages to a woman and her 13-year-old son after they attended a pro-ICE counter-protest in Portland. The minor’s personal information had been posted online, and the messages included statements such as “Excited for the obituaries” and “I’ll make sure you don’t see your 15th Birthday.”
The complaint also references a Facebook post featuring a photograph of what appears to be a Sig Sauer-style rifle displayed on a gunsmith mat, with patches or stickers, including one that reads, “I Choose Violence” and another featuring a green frog, possibly Pepe the Frog, frequently associated with alt-right or extremist internet culture.
The caption accompanying one image read: “Break glass in case of ICEy conditions at your residence.”
While the complaint does not detail the full inventory of firearms seized, agents characterize the discovery as part of a broader weapons cache tied to the online threats.
Digital trail leads to Portland address
During the investigation, investigators traced multiple X accounts — including “Captain Gaymerica,” “Trevor Johnson,” and “MasterQueef” — to the same IP address. An emergency disclosure request to Lumen Technologies identified the subscriber as Juhr. Additional records from T-Mobile linked a device to Juhr.
In addition to the social media posts, the investigation found a threatening voicemail left for the Nevada official he threatened, traced back to a phone number connected to Juhr.
Federal authorities have requested that portions of the case remain sealed, citing concerns about witness safety and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Juhr, his legal team, the FBI, and the Secret Service have not publicly commented on the case.
