An Oklahoma man who threatened to kill federal law enforcement officers and others, including “MAGA” supporters and President Donald Trump, has pleaded guilty to a number of charges, according to the Justice Department.
Taylor Prigmore, 31, of McLoud, pleaded guilty to “threatening to murder federal law enforcement officers, communicating a threat, assaulting federal officers, and brandishing a firearm in the furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to a DOJ press release. As part of his plea, Prigmore admitted he willfully threatened to murder federal law enforcement officers, “sent another threat to injure others,” and intentionally assaulted and interfered with federal officers using a firearm.
“Mr. Prigmore’s guilty plea represents an important step toward accountability for his disgraceful actions that endangered the lives of FBI agents as they carried out their sworn duties,” said FBI Oklahoma City Acting Special Agent in Charge Joe Skarda in a statement. “Violence and intimidation have no place in our society, and the FBI will continue working alongside our law enforcement and prosecutorial partners to ensure those who engage in such conduct are brought to justice.”
Prigmore was accused of hurling threats on YouTube in a series of posts and comments.

“Our presidents needs [sic] to die to save lives,” Prigmore posted on Jan. 17, according to a federal complaint filed in the Western District of Oklahoma.
“I really tired of dumb f—s pretending he’ll obey the courts,” Prigmore said in another post he wrote that day, per the complaint. “What is the 2nd amendment for? Ending MAGA.”
Posting on YouTube on Jan. 16, Prigmore said, “I can’t wait for the civil war. … Kill kill you MAGA f—s,” according to his indictment, which was filed in February. “Prep for civil w*r. Prep for d*eth c*mps. Prep for k*lling f*ederal *g*nts,” he said in another post on Jan. 17.
Federal prosecutors said Prigmore’s threats dated back to May 9, 2025, and continued through Jan. 17, 2026. He threatened to kill any law enforcement officers who came to his residence, stating he wanted to kill “as many as possible.”
“On January 19, 2026, the FBI arrested Prigmore,” a DOJ press release recounted in February. “During a brief standoff before his arrest, Prigmore fired multiple rounds at federal agents. No one was injured.”
Prigmore was indicted by a federal jury and charged with attempted murder of federal law enforcement; assaulting federal officers, possessing, brandishing, and discharging a firearm in the furtherance of a crime of violence; four counts of threatening to murder federal law enforcement officers, and two counts of communicating a threat. He changed his plea to guilty at a hearing on Nov. 2, according to court records.
“Be brave. Say it where ever you go. Kill feds,” Prigmore wrote in a May 9 YouTube post, according to his indictment. “Buy a gun. This is life and death.”
In another post from Jan. 17, Prigmore said, “It’s not sarcasm. I live in america. I am prepping physically and mentally to kill federal agents. Have you not seen the news of late. The nazi’s are winning over here. … Sex slaves, lynchings, rapes, disappearances and murders, are being perpetrated by ICE. In the open now. I intend to kill these people as law has abandon justice here.”
Federal investigators found a Hi-Point, model Luger C9, 9 mm semiautomatic pistol in Prigmore’s possession after he opened fire on officers, his indictment said.
He faces up to life in federal prison and fines up to $1 million.
