4t TENSIONATE CONFRONTATION IN COURT: Did a Massachusetts woman’s chilling threat to federal agents, citing the death of Charlie Kirk, turn a routine immigration arrest into a national firestorm?
A Massachusetts woman, Bethany Abigail Terrill, has been arrested and charged after reportedly threatening to kill federal agents during an immigration arrest outside the Malden District Court. The disturbing incident, which occurred on September 29, 2025, was caught on federal body cameras and Terrill’s own mobile phone. Prosecutors say that amid the arrest of an undocumented individual, Terrill physically interjected herself, shouted verbally abusive remarks, and made explicit threats toward the agents.
According to court documents, Terrill yelled statements including “Charlie Kirk died and we love it! We’re coming for you, gonna kill you!”—a chilling reference to the recently assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk. She also repeatedly called the federal officers “Nazis” and “monsters,” openly defying orders to back away from the scene. Despite warnings and requests from law enforcement, Terrill continued to film the arrest and tried to physically interfere with the agents’ duties.
When a federal agent attempted to detain her after overhearing the threats, she reportedly resisted arrest, necessitating the assistance of multiple officers to subdue and handcuff her. During the arrest, she denied making threatening statements but later repeated the aggressive phrase, “We are coming for you. We don’t like Nazis in America.”
Bethany Abigail Terrill, 37, a resident of Malden, now faces charges of threatening a United States official. If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in federal prison, along with supervised release and substantial fines. Her case is being prosecuted by the federal Major Crimes Unit.
The incident has raised attention amid intensified federal immigration enforcement efforts under President Donald Trump’s administration, which has faced both staunch support and vehement opposition across the country. Public reactions to Terrill’s outburst also reflect the deep political and social divisions currently surrounding immigration policy and law enforcement.
While Terrill’s attorney has declined to comment publicly, the legal proceedings will shed light on the details and motivations behind her actions. The case serves as a stark reminder of the volatile nature of immigration enforcement confrontations and the heightened emotions that often accompany them.
Authorities continue to emphasize the serious nature of threats against federal agents and the importance of upholding the rule of law. The outcome of Terrill’s trial may further influence national conversations about protest boundaries, law enforcement safety, and the charged political climate surrounding immigration enforcement operations.
