The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a press release on April 14 that the FBI had arrested 40-year-old queer ANTIFA activist Jamison Wagner for the attacks, which led to two Tesla vehicles being destroyed and caused significant damage to the Republican Party headquarters. According to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ will be seeking a 40-year prison sentence for Wagner.

Wagner, who was seen wearing purple lipstick in his mug shot, has been charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosive.
“Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” Bondi warned. “We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.”
The DOJ has explained that Wagner was identified as the suspect via surveillance footage and evidence found at the scene of the attacks. He was connected to both attacks by matching his Hyundai Accent to the surveillance footage, and his physical appearance matches that of the suspect. Upon searching Wagner’s home, FBI agents discovered materials used to make incendiary devices, spray paint matching what was used at both crime scenes, an “ICE=KKK” stencil that matched the graffiti at the Republican Party headquarters, and at least eight incendiary devices.
The first attack took place at the Tesla showroom on February 9, where two Tesla vehicles were targeted with homemade incendiary devices. Police found a glass container with napalm material inside one of the vehicles. Graffiti on the Tesla showroom included swastikas and the words “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” and “Die Tesla Nazi.”

FBI Director Kash Patel also spoke out about the arrest, stating that it was “part of the FBI’s aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country. Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we will continue to locate and arrest those responsible for these acts of domestic terrorism, and the FBI will work with partners at the Department of Justice to ensure such lawbreakers face justice.”
