ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Two out-of-state “social media provocateurs” are facing charges for allegedly threatening a north Georgia agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and his wife, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
On Sept. 23, a federal grand jury indicted 41-year-old Frank Andrew Waszut of Knoxville, Tennessee, and 63-year-old Anthony Patrick Noto of Ronkonkoma, New York, for “knowingly transmitting threats to injure” the ICE deportation officer and his wife, according to Theodore Hertzberg, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Waszut allegedly posted a video on Instagram that identified and displayed photographs of the ICE agent, who resides and works in the Northern District of Georgia, Hertzberg said in a news release Tuesday.
