Anarchist’s Digital Hit Contract Targets Conservative Leader
Tyler Avalos, a 29-year-old Minnesota man with a history of violent crimes, posted an explicit murder-for-hire solicitation on TikTok offering $45,000 for the killing of Pam Bondi. The post featured Bondi’s photograph. This represents a disturbing new frontier where social media platforms become venues for soliciting political assassinations against conservative figures.
The FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received the tip on October 9, 2025, from a concerned citizen in Detroit who recognized the severity of the threat. Federal investigators moved swiftly, coordinating with multiple tech companies, including TikTok, Google, and Comcast, to trace the digital footprint back to Avalos. This multi-agency response demonstrates how seriously law enforcement treats threats against prominent conservative leaders, even as leftist extremism continues to escalate.

Pattern of Violence and Extremist Ideology
Avalos’s criminal background reveals a troubling pattern of violence that should have raised red flags long before this federal incident. Court records show prior convictions for stalking and domestic assault, indicating escalating criminal behavior. His self-identification as an anarchist aligns with the anti-establishment, anti-conservative violence we’ve witnessed from radical leftist groups who target anyone defending traditional American values and constitutional principles.
The suspect’s use of a mainstream social media platform to openly solicit murder demonstrates how emboldened these extremists have become. Rather than operating in dark corners of the internet, Avalos felt comfortable posting his violent bounty on TikTok, a platform used by millions of Americans daily. This brazen approach suggests a belief that such radical actions would find support among the platform’s user base.
Weak Justice System Enables Continued Threats
Despite federal charges for creating an online threat to injure, Avalos was released on a signature bond with GPS monitoring after waiving his preliminary hearing. This lenient treatment of someone who solicited murder against a prominent conservative raises serious questions about our justice system’s commitment to protecting public officials. The fact that a person with a violent criminal history can walk free after posting a $45,000 bounty demonstrates how our courts continue to coddle dangerous criminals.
Pam Bondi, who served as Florida’s Attorney General and remains a respected voice in conservative circles, has faced numerous threats throughout her career for defending law and order. This escalation to a public murder-for-hire solicitation represents the most serious threat documented against her. The targeting of conservative leaders through social media bounties could become a dangerous trend if not met with swift, severe consequences that deter future attempts.
