Talking Points Memo reports:
Alejandro Velasquez, an activist associated with white supremacist leader Nick Fuentes’ far-right “Groyper” movement pleaded guilty on May 16 to a charge of making a “threatening communication” directed at a conference held by the group Turning Point USA. Velasquez, a 19-year-old Texas man who was known by the online alias “LatinoZoomer,” had written a post on Instagram featuring a gun emoji and declaring the start of the conference would be a “day of retribution.”
In addition to one count of making an interstate threatening communication, Velasquez was charged with one count of “possession of child pornography.” Investigators allegedly found three images that featured “prepubescent” children and a “baby” in sexual contexts on Velasquez’s cell phone. The court docket shows Velasquez only pleaded guilty to the charge related to his post, which indicates the child pornography charges may have been dismissed as part of his plea agreement.
