Conservative student exposes Midwestern college for preventing Turning Point USA chapter
A conservative student from Beloit College in Wisconsin says her school is blocking students from establishing a new Turning Point USA (TPUSA) club on campus and has failed to adequately protect its members from harassment and threats they have faced for trying to do so.
On Oct. 1, Jocelyn Jordan and some of her classmates began applying to start a new Turning Point USA chapter at Beloit College, requiring them to find a faculty advisor, among a list of other requirements needed to start a club on campus.
Every faculty member the students have asked thus far, including the dean of students, refused to help them, according to Jordan, who said she was advised to establish a group that does not have the Turning Point name attached to it. Jordan also claimed a member of the student government said that even if they were to find a faculty advisor, they still would not be able to establish a Turning Point chapter on campus.
Meanwhile, Jordan and her classmates began promoting their club on social media around mid-October, leading to a harassment campaign targeting the students for their efforts to create a chapter of the Republican group, first founded by assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, on their campus. The harassment initially included disturbing imagery posted on the group's new Instagram page, referring to Jordan and her co-founders as Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and White supremacists, but eventually devolved into threats.

However, Jordan said the university dismissed the students' initial harassment concerns, telling them there was nothing faculty could do because they could not identify who was making the harassing posts. When the harassment devolved into threats, Jordan filed a subsequent police report, a move that appeared to spur greater action from the college, which eventually banned one of the main harassers from campus, who Jordan said was an alumnus working in food service on campus at the time.
"As a student, I should feel comfortable coming to campus no matter what beliefs I have, no matter what I identify as, no matter who I want to be. And, at this moment, I don't feel comfortable," Jordan told Fox News Digital. "I mean, it took three and a half weeks for [Beloit College] to even address the situation, and that doesn't give me much hope for how this is going to turn out for Turning Point."
In addition to banning the alumnus from campus, the college also sent out an email, which Jordan described as "vague" and pointed out that it came after weeks of their complaints that fell on deaf ears, warning students about hateful rhetoric towards other students. The email did mention an incident of late that included "the depiction of other Beloit students as dangerous radicals, Nazis, or monsters seeking to cause harm."
"I want to remind everyone that our Student Handbook states that social media harassment … is prohibited behavior," the email added. "Engaging thoughtfully around difference is hard, but that's why you've come to Beloit: to learn to do hard things well and with compassion. So let's try this. Be kind to one another. Give the benefit of the doubt to other students."
The harassment campaign targeting Jordan and her classmates was led in part by a now-deleted Instagram page titled "bc_friendly_fan_edits," which posted a photo of the potential Turning Point board members at Beloit photoshopped around Charlie Kirk in a casket and Donald Trump on a cross. The same group also posted a sexualized depiction of a female Nazi with Jordan's face juxtaposed on it. The photo was captioned "#bullythebigots."
Another harasser sent the group's new Instagram page direct messages calling them "cowards" and laughing about the fact they have been unable to find a faculty advisor to support them. "Careful yall. The Klan members (tpusa_beloit) are calling in their gang (local police) to invoke fear in brown people within the community because they couldn't handle the consequences of their own actions," said a post sent to the hopeful TPUSA chapter's new Instagram page via its direct messages. Other posts sought to satirize Turning Point USA's logo, using it to create a "Meet The Campus Nazis" graphic that called out all the potential chapter members.
"Our first post received over 75 comments in just one day, with more than 90% of them being hateful. We heard every name from klan members to Nazis to white supremacists. Some people even began attacking our appearances, specifically my blonde hair (which isn't even my natural color lol) and blue eyes," Jordan wrote in a post on Facebook and X calling out her college for the lack of response to the situation.
But then the threats started coming in, and things got a little more serious.
"The lack of accountability is showing, but the lack of consequences won’t be," a comment on one of the hopeful TPUSA chapter's new Instagram posts said.
Several posts also began chastising Jordan and her classmates for getting the police involved.
"The day a white supremacist Nazi tries me is the day I'll get to prove why burying authoritarians is a family legacy that I will carry on," the same harasser who threatened there would be "consequences" posted on their Instagram story. "Come after me I dare you. If I run out of ammo I won't run out of options. Second Amendment works better when its against Nazis."
"Imagine hiding your klan behind the police because you couldn't handle the consequences of your own actions. How very klan-like of you," said another comment on one of the group's posts.
In response to this article, Beloit College sent Fox News Digital a lengthy statement saying the school is "committed to fostering respectful open inquiry and encouraging a diversity of perspectives on campus." The statement also insisted it was "not blocking" the students from a path to club membership, noting it has been "in full accordance with campus policies" and that all potential clubs must follow the same list of requirements.
"The college takes all allegations of threats and harassment against students seriously, including recent ones related to the students interested in forming a Turning Point USA chapter," the statement said. "Beloit College expects all members of our community to practice compassion and respect towards each other. We are an educational institution, and students learn best within a safe and vibrant campus environment."
The statement also confirmed that "a recent investigation" led to one individual being banned from the Beloit College campus.
Jordan told Fox News Digital that she and her classmates are not giving in. The group is still hoping to get their Turning Point chapter a faculty advisor, so that they can become a fully functioning student organization on campus.
In response to the alleged political bias, GOP Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Josh Schoemann called on Beloit College to "approve the chapter." Current governor, Democrat Tony Evers, announced his plan to retire earlier this year.
"Beloit College must approve the chapter and take immediate action to protect students from harassment and threats, anything less is a failure of leadership," Schoemann told Fox News Digital.
"I stand with these students in their fight to establish a Turning Point USA chapter," Schoemann added, noting that, as governor, he "will ensure that students can freely and safely express their views on campus."
'Smallville' actress Allison Mack shares how NXIVM leader claimed sex was needed to 'heal' her
"Smallville" actress Allison Mack broke her silence Monday about working with NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere.
In the seven-episode CBC podcast, "Allison After NXIVM," the former child actor described how Raniere convinced her that a physical relationship was required to "heal" her.
Raniere, a self-improvement guru whose organization attracted millionaires and actresses among its supporters, was sentenced to 120 years in prison in 2020 after being convicted on seven counts that included racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and attempted sex trafficking.
FORMER ‘SMALLVILLE’ ACTRESS ALLISON MACK RELEASED FROM PRISON EARLY IN NXIVM SEX-SLAVE CASE
After Mack confided in a NXIVM friend that she was struggling with her sexuality, the actress was encouraged to speak to Raniere about her personal life.
"So that's when I approached Keith and I said, ‘I feel like I really struggle with my sexuality,’" Mack remembered. "'I think that there were things that happened when I was a kid that weren’t OK. I can’t feel myself connecting to my sexuality. I feel ashamed of my body and my sexuality. Like, I don’t understand how I can get around this.' And he was like, ‘Well, I can help you with that.’"
Mack added, "He said, ‘But in order for me to help you with that, we’re going to have to be physically intimate because it's an experiential problem that you're having.'"
ACTRESS ALLISON MACK SENTENCED TO 3 YEARS IN NXIVM SEX-SLAVE CASE
"'So I can't just theoretically help you through it. You have to have the experience of going through it.'"
Somehow, Rainere's proposal made sense to Mack through the NXIVM lens, which is how their physical relationship began.
She remembered thinking "this is f---ing weird" as the intimacy began, but also found solace in believing that Raniere was going to help her through his own therapeutic modality.
"He's my teacher, and he's going to help me," Mack recalled. "He called it energy work, so when he was sleeping with you, he would say, ‘I’m moving energy through your body, like Tantric kind of a thing.'"
Raniere's manipulation tactics and the NXIVM curriculum caused Mack to believe she was the problem.
"In my head, I'm going, ‘This is weird,’" she said, before attempting to justify her own thoughts to prove "how dysfunctional" she was.

"This is the safest man that you could be with, and this is a person that just wants to take care and love you. He doesn't even want anything from you, he just wants to make sure that you're OK."
Mack was released early from prison in 2023 after serving two years of a three-year term for federal racketeering and conspiracy charges.
The actress was arrested in 2018 on federal charges for her involvement in NXIVM. Shortly after her arrest, Mack posted a $5 million bond.

Mack initially faced between 14-17.5 years in prison, but managed to reduce her prison sentence by cooperating with federal authorities in the case against Raniere.
Mack assisted prosecutors by detailing how Raniere created the private organization. Raniere branded women with his initials, brainwashed and forced them to have sex with him.
She expressed her "remorse and guilt" before sentencing in federal court, and admitted she made decisions she would "forever regret."
"I am sorry to those of you that I brought into NXIVM," Mack said in a statement to the court in June 2021. "I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man. From the deepest part of my heart and soul, I am sorry."
'Star Wars' actor says he would be open to work with Disney again if they don't 'succumb to fascism'
Oscar Isaac, who starred in Disney's "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, said on Sunday that he would consider working with the entertainment giant again if it refuses to kowtow to "fascism."
GQ magazine published the interview Monday, where he was asked by GQ senior culture editor Alex Pappademas about possibly reprising his role as Poe Dameron in "Star Wars."
"I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great," said Isaac, who was one of many public figures criticizing or distancing themselves from the entertainment company at the time.
YOUNG CONSERVATIVES SAY KIMMEL FACED 'CONSEQUENCES,' NOT CANCEL CULTURE AFTER ABC SUSPENSION
"That would be great," Pappademas replied.
"But if that happens, then yeah, I’d be open to having a conversation about a galaxy far away — or any number of other things," Isaac added.
Isaac’s attitude toward "Star Wars" appears to have softened. In June 2020, he said he would only be interested in reprising his role if he needed "another house or something."
ROGAN CALLS OUT MEDIA FOR FUSSING OVER JIMMY KIMMEL AS UK GOVT ARRESTS PEOPLE FOR ONLINE SPEECH
In an editorial note, Pappademas told readers that the interview was conducted two days after ABC and Disney suspended production of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Kimmel's show was pulled off the air after remarks about the alleged assassin of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk sparked outrage, a warning from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and two major ABC affiliate owners yanking his program across the country. Kimmel had falsely suggested the alleged killer was a MAGA supporter, although he's reportedly claimed he was taken out of context.
The brief suspension sparked immediate outrage from Kimmel's fellow late-night hosts and many prominent liberals in the entertainment industry. Kimmel's show was restored after only a few days.
Disney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lions' Amon-Ra St Brown talks performing Trump dance after touchdown
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown scored a touchdown in the first quarter against the Washington Commanders and performed President Donald Trump’s signature dance in celebration.
The 9-yard touchdown catch was the eighth of the season as Detroit went on to win the game, 44-22. He had five catches for 58 yards.

Brown was asked about the Trump move and whether it was "premeditated."
"I heard Trump was going to be at the game," Brown explained. "I don’t know how many times the president is going to be at the game, so just decided to, you know, have some fun and do his dance."
In fact, a sitting U.S. president attending a regular-season NFL game is rare. The last president to attend a game while in office was President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Trump was at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans and went to a Pittsburgh Steelers game last year while on the campaign trail.
LIONS' AMON-RA ST BROWN DOES TRUMP'S SIGNATURE DANCE TO CELEBRATE TOUCHDOWN VS COMMANDERS
He was at the game to read the names of those who enlisted in the U.S. military. He didn't appear at the game until the second quarter.
The Commanders welcomed the president as part of the NFL’s "Salute to Service" festivities to honor veterans in the U.S.
"We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country," Commanders club president Mark Clouse said last week. "The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families this Sunday."
The president has attended plenty of sporting events over the last 13 months. In addition to the Steelers game last year and the Super Bowl, he’s been at UFC fights, the Daytona 500, U.S. Open and Ryder Cup.

Are American workers being replaced? Inside the H-1B visa controversy
Following months of controversy, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation in September decrying the systemic abuse of the H-1B visa program, which he said is fueling the "large-scale replacement of American workers" that "has undermined both our economic and national security."
To address this, Trump instituted a $100,000 fee for companies seeking to obtain an H-1B visa, a move that has been widely criticized by business leaders, especially in the tech industry.
Debate over the program has split both the American public and the GOP, with one side saying the visa holders are poaching American jobs and the other saying it is vital to U.S. competitiveness.
So, what are H-1B visas, and why have they become a political flashpoint?
An H-1B visa is a non-immigrant work visa that allows companies in the U.S. to hire highly-skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations for an initial period of three years, which can be extended to six years.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website states that the visas are meant for individuals of "exceptional merit and ability." Individuals must have at least a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
By far the industry most heavily utilizing H-1B visas is the tech industry, which accounts for roughly 60% to 70% of all the new applications in recent years.
Other top industries include consulting and professional services, engineering and manufacturing, healthcare and medical research and higher education.
DESANTIS SAYS HE WON’T TOLERATE H-1B VISA ‘ABUSE' IN FLORIDA UNIVERSITIES
There is no official figure for the number of people currently holding H-1B visas.
There is a yearly cap of 65,000 people who can obtain H-1B visas. The program allows for an additional 20,000 individuals holding master’s degrees or above. Notably, most universities and non-profit research organizations are cap-exempt, further increasing the number of people being approved each year.
The Pew Research Center estimated that about 400,000 H-1B visa applications were approved last year under the Biden administration.
Nearly 3 out of every 4, 73%, of H-1B visa holders come from India, according to Pew. The country with the second-highest number of visa holders is China, with 12%. The remaining 15% comes from a mix of other countries, with no single country reaching the 2% threshold.
The H-1B visa program has been criticized on both sides of the political aisle, including from Trump to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
TRUMP’S $100K H-1B VISA OVERHAUL COULD HIT TECH GIANTS LIKE AMAZON AND MICROSOFT HARDEST
Critics say the current program has veered away from its original intent to attract top talent to work in the U.S. and instead is being used by employers to import cheap foreign labor, depress wages, and cut out American workers.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Senate Judiciary Chair Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reintroduced bipartisan legislation in September to reform and close loopholes in the H-1B program to protect American workers and stop the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries.
On the state level, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis issued guidance in October to combat the university loophole. DeSantis directed the Florida Board of Governors to end the practice of higher education institutions "importing foreign workers on H-1B visas instead of hiring Americans" by requiring universities to "put American graduates first and ensure taxpayer-funded schools serve the American workforce."
On the other side of the debate, prominent figures such as Elon Musk have advocated for H-1B visas because the program is essential for the U.S. to maintain its competitive edge.
Shortly before Trump returned to the Oval Office, Musk said, "The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B" and pledged to "go to war" in support of the program.
However, Musk also noted his belief that "the program is broken and needs major reform."
DOJ CALLS FOR TIPS ON EMPLOYERS FAVORING FOREIGN WORKERS IN HIRING PRACTICES
He proposed "raising the minimum salary significantly and adding a yearly cost for maintaining the H1B, making it materially more expensive to hire from overseas than domestically."
Business leaders have said the H-1B program is important in competing with countries such as China, which just recently launched a similar program, called the K-visa, to attract top talent to the country. The program went into effect on Oct. 1.
The H-1B program also has the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
On Sept. 19, Trump issued a presidential proclamation titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers," in which he said the H-1B visa program was being "deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers with lower-paid, lower-skilled labor."
Trump said this abuse has been used by companies to "artificially suppress wages, resulting in a disadvantageous labor market for American citizens, while at the same time making it more difficult to attract and retain the highest skilled subset of temporary workers, with the largest impact seen in critical science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields."
The president wrote that "the large-scale replacement of American workers through systemic abuse of the program has undermined both our economic and national security."
As such, Trump imposed a $100,000 fee, effective Sept. 21, 2025. The restriction will expire one year from the effective date.
Trump also directed his administration to "initiate a rulemaking to prioritize the admission as nonimmigrants of high-skilled and high-paid aliens."
Meanwhile, another DHS rule will narrow the definition of "specialty occupation" that will allow the department officials to increase worksite compliance inspections before and after an H-1B petition, and require the petitioner’s employer to make the application directly — a move to stop companies from bringing in H-1B immigrants and then contracting them to other companies.
The debate over H-1B visas promises to continue in the coming months and years.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has sued the Trump administration to stop its implementation of the $100,000 application requirement, which it says would "make it cost-prohibitive for U.S. employers, especially start-ups and small and midsize businesses, to utilize the H-1B program."
The lawsuit argues that the new fee is unlawful because it overrides provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that govern the H-1B program, including a requirement that fees be based on the costs incurred by the government in processing visas.
The chamber previously warned that restrictions on the H-1B program "have the potential to inflict serious harm upon many American companies."
The case is currently ongoing. It remains to be seen whether Congress will ultimately weigh in one way or another on the issue.
Rob Gronkowski to officially retire from NFL with ceremonial one-day Patriots contract signing
Rob Gronkowski is officially retiring from the NFL, and he is signing a one-day contract to ensure he becomes a "Patriot for life."
Gronkowski said on "FOX NFL Sunday" that he will ink a one-day contract with the New England Patriots this week to retire as a member of the storied franchise with which he won three of his four Super Bowl rings.
The announcement came as the Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the last team Gronkowski played for alongside Tom Brady and with whom he won Super Bowl LV in 2021, were set to face off against each other. Brady was on the call for that contest alongside Kevin Burkhardt.

The Patriots announced Monday that Gronkowski would sign the one-day contract Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the team’s "Thursday Night Football" matchup against the New York Jets, their AFC East rival.
Gronkowski, 36, began his NFL career in 2010, when the Patriots drafted him 42nd overall in the second round out of Arizona. He spent nine seasons in New England, becoming one of the best tight ends to play the game as he and Brady developed a connection that was a major part of winning those Super Bowls under head coach Bill Belichick.
He had initially said he was hanging up his cleats following the 2018 season, but when Brady moved on from the Patriots to join the Buccaneers, Gronkowski couldn’t resist another opportunity to play with his favorite quarterback in the Sunshine State.
With a loaded Buccaneers squad, Brady and Gronkowski went on to win their final Super Bowl together, where the tight end scored twice at Raymond James Stadium to secure the Vince Lombardi Trophy over the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a 31-9 blowout.
Gronkowski retired after the 2022 season, and Brady followed suit in 2023 after a first-round exit against the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.
As Gronkowski and Brady remain colleagues on the Fox Sports team, they’re watching the Patriots get back to their old winning ways, like when they were there. A fellow Patriot, head coach Mike Vrabel, is leading the way in his first season in the role.
There is also a new sheriff in town, at least at the quarterback position. Drake Maye, whom the franchise chose third overall out of UNC in 2024, has been playing like an MVP candidate as the team is 8-2 through its first 10 games. He’s third in the NFL in yards (2,555) and tied for third in touchdown passes (19). Maye’s 113.9 quarterback rating is also sixth in the league.
The future is bright for New England, but one of its legends ensured his NFL book closed as a member of the storied franchise.

Giants made a 'mistake' by firing head coach Brian Daboll, former NFL QB says
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky said Monday he believed that the New York Giants should have given head coach Brian Daboll another year because of his budding relationship with Jaxson Dart.
The Giants fired Daboll after the team blew another fourth-quarter lead. This time, it came against the Chicago Bears. Orlovsky said on ESPN the Giants may have jumped the gun early on the Daboll era.

"I’m of the belief that this is a mistake by the New York Giants. It was clear that the quarterback and head coach had something going together – at least there’s production, performance together and hope," the ESPN NFL analyst said. "The fourth-quarter leads are obviously something that you’re sitting there killing yourself over. This team lost its best player and then they lost probably their second or third best player, certainly an offensive weapon, in (Cam) Skattebo. The fact that they built these leads should warrant something.
"The reality is this defense that has something like a cajillion dollars or early draft picks had 10-point fourth-quarter leads four different times this year and they couldn’t find ways to secure the lead either. So, as much as we want to sit there and say Daboll didn’t get it done, a lot of the high-prize defensive talent didn’t get it done as well."
The Giants’ defense has left a lot to be desired.
New York’s defense is 27th in points allowed and 29th in yards allowed. In their five-game losing streak, the Giants have been outscored 75-37 in the fourth quarter. Brian Burns has exceeded expectations with an NFL-leading 11 sacks, but the secondary has been almost non-existent.
The Giants named offensive coordinator Mike Kafka its interim head coach.
"We spoke this morning about the direction of our franchise on the field, and we have decided that, at this time, it is in our best interest to make a change at the head coaching position," team president John Mara and chairman Steve Tisch said in a joint statement.
"The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we have not met our expectations for this franchise. We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product.
"We appreciate Coach Daboll for his contributions to our organization. We wish the Daboll family all the best in the future."

Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy says he faces antisemitism 'every day now'
Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy told CBS News that there has been a "definitive shift" in antisemitism and that he now faces hatred "every day."
In a preview for an upcoming interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," Portnoy told co-host Tony Dokoupil that he has seen a clear rise in contempt against him for being Jewish compared to the occasional hateful comments he used to receive.
"I've seen in my own experience just being Barstool, the difference between how much hate I get," Portnoy said. "I mean, occasionally you get a k--- or Jew or whatever. It's every day now. Like there's a definitive shift in what's going on."

He continued, "So yes, now, for me, being a Jewish person like you got to step up. You're kind of someone people look up to in the Jewish community. You have to be like ‘all right this is not normal haha with the guys.’ People coming in with real hate."
Fox News Digital reached out to Barstool Sports for comment.
2ND TEMPLE UNIVERSITY STUDENT SUSPENDED OVER ANTISEMITIC INCIDENT AT BARSTOOL SPORTS BAR
After Portnoy recorded the interview on Friday, CBS News reported that a person yelled antisemitic comments at Portnoy during one of his "One Bite Pizza Reviews."
A similar incident occurred in June when an unseen man was heard shouting "f--- the Jews" while Portnoy was recording his video review in Toronto.
"What is that, Toronto hospitality there?" Portnoy commented during the incident.
Portnoy was also wrapped up in another antisemitic incident in May when a sign reading "f--- the Jews" was spotted at one of Barstool Sports’ bars in Philadelphia.
Though he initially described feeling "f---ing mad" and itching to "ruin these people," Portnoy announced after the incident that he was sending the alleged culprits responsible to visit Auschwitz in Poland to turn the incident into a teaching moment on the Holocaust. He later revoked the offer to one of the accused men after he claimed the young man denied responsibility for what happened.
Father and son gunned down in blue city after jewelry store robbery, thousands offered for information
A father and son in Chicago were killed after a jewelry store robbery over the weekend, according to police.
The Chicago Police Department said an unknown male offender entered a jewelry store at around 5:49 p.m. on Saturday in Chicago's Little Village area and stole items, FOX 32 reported. The suspect was then involved in a physical altercation outside the store where he fired two shots, which hit the victims, police said.
One of the victims, a 63-year-old man, sustained several gunshot wounds to his head, body and face, officials said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition and later died.

Florida man fired from job accused of threatening church attacks online: 'Gonna look like a genocide'
A Florida man recently fired from his job allegedly made online threats targeting churches, authorities said.
Michael Iaboni, 32, was arrested after a tip was sent to Crime Stoppers, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office affidavit.
Investigators said Iaboni posted videos on social media saying he had been fired from his job and made threats against places of worship.
Iaboni posted, and later deleted, one video on Nov. 4 where he states that "I got fired and I'm fired up," authorities said.
He also allegedly stated that: "It's all kill shot" before holding up his hands and pretending to hold a rifle mimicking the sound of a firearm being fired.
"I would never take my own life, but I understand the people that I am going to be going after are and could potentially be dangerous," he said, according to investigators.
"Christ Fellowship is on my list to hit also," the arrest report continued. "My end game is taking you out... It's not necessarily the people that are yelling that you need to be worried about, it's the quiet ones. It's the ones that no longer fear death. I expect death to come fast and very violent. Hopefully I go out fast."
PATEL SAYS FBI STOPPED POTENTIAL PRESCHOOL MASSACRE: 'UNACCEPTABLE ACTS OF COWARDICE'
The report said Iaboni made another threatening post on Nov. 7, where he said it was "gonna look like a genocide."
The report said that Iaboni lives about 1.5 miles from Christ Fellowship. On Nov. 2, he allegedly signed up for a "Journey" event at Christ Fellowship to learn more about the church.
Church staffers later notified Palm Beach Gardens police about Iaboni "frequenting the Church recently."
Iaboni is charged with written threats to kill or do bodily harm. He is being held on a $250,000 bond, according to jail records.
