New York Woman Accused of Threatening Trump Released by Federal Judge

A New York City woman who had been detained after allegedly posting violent threats against President Trump on social media was quietly released last week under conditions set by a federal judge.

Court records show that Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, ordered the release of 50-year-old Nathalie Rose Jones on August 27th. Jones, who lives in New York City, was placed on electronic monitoring and directed to receive psychiatric treatment once she returned home.

The decision came just days after U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya had denied her bond due to the ongoing threats she made earlier in August.

One of Jones’ Facebook posts from August 6th read:

“Here’s where we are. I literally told FBI in five states today that I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present. Let’s deal with this and restore domestic tranquility.”

In additional posts, she called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “please arrange the arrest and removal ceremony of POTUS Trump as a terrorist on the American People from 10-2pm at the White House on Saturday, August 16th, 2025.”

According to authorities, concerning online activity was first flagged on August 2nd. Later, during an August 15th interview with Secret Service agents, Jones admitted she would “carry out the mission of killing” Trump with a “bladed object” if given the opportunity.

Her online writings frequently tagged federal agencies including the FBI, ICE, and the Department of Homeland Security. Friends of Jones told Judge Boasberg that she has long struggled with “schizophrenia” and other mental health challenges but has never acted violently, according to court documents.

Her arrest had been highlighted by newly appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who said:

“Threatening the life of the President is one of the most serious crimes and one that will be met with swift and unwavering prosecution. Make no mistake — justice will be served.”

Jones still faces felony charges for making threats against the president and is awaiting trial.
