MIAMI (AP) - A Maryland man has pleaded guilty to posting threats on Facebook that he planned to kill Hispanics in Florida and elsewhere.
Court records show 35-year-old Eric Lin of Clarksburg, Maryland, admitted Tuesday in Miami federal court that he sent threatening communications in interstate commerce between May and August 2019.
Lin faces up to five years in federal prison at his March 30 sentencing.
Evidence shows Lin made several threatening Facebook posts, including plans to kill a Florida resident and to “kill all Hispanics” in Miami and other places.
Prosecutors said Lin posted messages about his idolization of Adolf Hitler.
