The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia announced Monday that federal charges have been filed against a Texas man who threatened to kill Jewish workers at a Georgia company, the fourth defendant in 12 months to face federal prosecution in the district for alleged antisemitic threats online or by phone.
Authorities say that on April 24, 2026, Houston resident Jordan Nicholas Hadley allegedly left a threatening message in the voicemail inbox of Flock Safety, a company based in Atlanta.
“You’re a bunch of Jewish fa–ots who are breaking the Constitution. Film me and see what f–king happens,” the message said. “I’ll find you and I’ll f–king kill you.”
The 31-year-old was later arrested on a criminal complaint on July 9 and is scheduled to make an initial appearance in Atlanta at an unspecified date.
“These men allegedly spewed vile hate and threatened violent attacks against Jews,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg in a Monday press release. “Threats against any person based on his or her religious beliefs will not be tolerated, and these charges reflect my office’s commitment to working with law enforcement partners to combat the pernicious evil of antisemitism and hold accountable anyone who threatens members of our community.”

In addition to Hadley, authorities said that they have charged three additional individuals with communicating interstate antisemitic threats since August 2025.
“Antisemitic hate has no place in Georgia or anywhere,” said Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta Marlo Graham. “The FBI’s work to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution includes the assurance to every single American that they are allowed to practice their religion without fear of threats or harm.”
Aaron John Sasser
On or around April 3, 2026, Maryland resident Aaron John Sasser, 36, allegedly sent numerous threatening messages to employees of Atlanta-based PrizePicks, a fantasy sports operating company, via an online customer service chat.
Sasser, who directed his messages to various specific PrizePicks employees, allegedly wrote, among other messages, “You better leave town because I’m driving down to Atlanta to blow up the PrizePicks headquarters and then I’ll head to your house … Then I’m gonna blow his f–king body up in the name of Palestine because he’s a Zionist piece of s–t and every last one of them are going to die.”
He was arrested on a criminal complaint on April 6, and his charges are currently pending.
Christopher Robertson
On August 1, 2025, Fairburn resident Christopher Robertson, 43, was arrested on a criminal complaint and later indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of communicating interstate threats after several incidents of alleged antisemitic behavior.
These include a July 30 incident where Robertson trespassed at the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta parking lot and identified himself as “the official spokesperson for the white race” to security officers, and a visit to the Jewish Chabad building in Peachtree City, where the suspect told the Chabad rabbi that Jewish people were on the “verge of extermination.”
Robertson’s alleged bigotry also extended online, where he allegedly posted a Facebook video on July 24, 2025, in which he chanted, “This is not Israel. Jews don’t have no protection. F–k the Jews, and f–k you if you Jewish, b–ch. Hey, f–k the Jews, f–k you if you Jewish.”
Four days later, the metro Atlanta resident allegedly posted on Facebook a photo of himself holding a black pistol while speaking about the “cultural genocide” of the white race.
Robertson has been detained since his initial arrest, with charges currently pending.
Matthew Alan Souza
On or around July 15, 2025, Ackworth resident Matthew Alan Souza posted on X: “I just want more Jews dead / The more Jew lives I take / The better a place the world can be / Death to the Jewish people.”
One week later, Souza posted, “Death to every Jew breathing / I can’t wait for the war of America against Israel / The day I snipe a Jew will put a huge smile on my face.”
On June 11, 2026, the 25-year-old pled guilty to two counts of communicating interstate threats. Souza, who has been detained since May 8, is scheduled for sentencing on July 14, 2026.
