A Malden, Mass. woman has been arrested and charged for threatening to kill federal agents who were arresting someone believed to be an illegal immigrant.
Bethany Abigail Terrill, 37, was charged with threatening a United States official while they were arresting an illegal immigrant after a court hearing for leaving the scene of property damage. Terrill will make an initial appearance in federal court in Boston.
Court documents say that federal agents were supporting Immigration Enforcement and Removal Operations near Malden District Court on September 29 when agents encountered Terrill outside of Malden Court.
It is alleged that Terrill physically interjected herself into the middle of agents while arresting someone who wasn't resisting. Terrill was allegedly verbally abusive, attempted to interfere with the arrest physically and ultimately made threatening statements to kill the federal officers on scene.
Specifically, Terrill allegedly approached the agents, screaming at and pushing through the agents to capture a video recording on her mobile telephone. It is further alleged that Terrill began screaming, “ICE is here, ICE is here,” “You guys are monsters, this is insane,” “Sir, what’s your name, what’s your name,” “I can try to help you,” and “I am an American civilian, I have a right to be here” as she continuously pushed into agents all while filming them.
Agents, who were identifiable by their badges, agency placards and clothing, told Terrill to “back up” several times.
It is alleged that Terrill repeatedly attempted to push past the agents and failed to comply with any commands. Agents notified Terrill that she could be arrested if she continued to fail to comply with their requests to give them space to safely effect the arrest.
Terrill allegedly yelled, “Charlie Kirk died, and we love it… We’re coming for you, gonna kill you.”
The incident was captured on the agents’ body-worn cameras and allegedly on Terrill’s mobile phone.

Last month, someone shot up an ICE facility in Dallas and killed two detainees. Since then, federal law enforcement has sent more agents to secure ICE facilities nationwide.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
