An Oklahoma man has been arrested on nine felony charges for allegedly making death threats against Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).According to Politico, while the motive of 63-year-old David Shuck has not been publicly released, the Justice Department "described the case as part of an initiative related to an order President Donald Trump signed last September, known as NSPM-7, targeting 'domestic terrorism and organized political violence'" — with an emphasis specifically on "Antifa" and other left-wing protest activity.NSPM-7 has raised alarm bells from legal observers, who have warned it could be used to target Trump's political critics.Another criticism of the operation, per the report, is that it characterizes Antifa "as an organized entity when it is a vague label applied to a wide range of dissenting groups and people."Shuck, who, according to the report, previously served 18 months in prison for a marijuana grow operation, is out of jail on $10,000 bond as of press time.Death threats against public figures have been an ongoing issue for years, and have targeted officials in both parties. In one of the most bizarre recent examples, a U.S. Senate candidate was arrested last month over threats to kill President Donald Trump.
