70-Year-Old Florida Attorney ARRESTED After Allegedly Threatening to KILL ICE Agents While Trying to Buy a Gun — Asked If Firearms Could Penetrate Body Armor, Planned to Aim for the Head

Wait 5 sec.

A 70-year-old Florida-licensed attorney is sitting in federal custody without bond after Homeland Security Investigations agents say she walked into a Mississippi gun store and openly discussed her plan to murder Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.Lisa C. White, admitted to the Florida Bar in October 1995 and previously practicing in Broward County, now lives in Diamondhead, Mississippi. On September 23 she entered High Caliber Guns in Long Beach around 11:30 a.m. and told employees, “I need a gun.”She identified herself as a protester and activist who wanted a firearm and pepper spray for “protection” at a demonstration because she believed “ICE agents are becoming crazy and wild.”According to the federal criminal complaint filed by HSI Special Agent John Griggs (detailed in the Biloxi Sun Herald and other reporting), the conversation quickly turned explicit.White allegedly stated she wanted the gun to kill ICE agents. She gestured toward her torso and asked whether the firearms could penetrate an agent’s body armor. When told they might not, she said she would simply “hit them in the head, shoulder, arm or leg.”A store employee warned her that pointing a firearm at a federal officer would likely get her killed. White allegedly replied, “If I have to die, I have to die,” while claiming ICE agents were “shooting people in the back” and “killing innocent protesters.”The store declined the sale and suggested she return later. White then went to a nearby range, rented and fired two 9mm pistols, bought ammunition, claimed to be a U.S. Army veteran and “expert shooter,” and reportedly expressed interest in returning for an AR-15.Vigilant employees reported the encounter to the ATF, which notified HSI. Agents interviewed witnesses and arrested White the next day in Long Beach.She is being held without bond on a federal criminal complaint charging her with threatening a federal law enforcement officer, specifically, influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threat.She pleaded not guilty (around October 15) and faces a trial date of November 16. If convicted she could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and supervised release.Remarkably, White remains in good standing with the Florida Bar with no listed disciplinary history.This case is part of a documented and massive surge in violence and threats against ICE officers carrying out the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement.ICE has reported more than a 1,600% increase in assaults, a 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats against its agents.The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly covered this dangerous escalation, fueled by radical activist rhetoric and sanctuary politicians who have spent years demonizing the men and women enforcing federal law.The post 70-Year-Old Florida Attorney ARRESTED After Allegedly Threatening to KILL ICE Agents While Trying to Buy a Gun — Asked If Firearms Could Penetrate Body Armor, Planned to Aim for the Head appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
