Velasquez had a ticket to the event and had booked a flight from Austin to Tampa, according to federal officials. “This man used social media to broadcast the message that he intended to travel across the country and carry out a violent act at an event catering to young political activists,” U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Jaime Esparza said in a written statement. “Fortunately, his post was reported to officials who intervened, and this case can serve as a reminder to everyone that, at all levels of law enforcement, we take threats of violence very seriously.
