A 23-year-old man from Utah, Luis Ramirez, was charged with making terroristic threats against Central Synagogue in Manhattan. Ramirez, who was arrested while trying to enter Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel, allegedly made online threats to shoot up the synagogue. His posts, which included disturbing statements and references to Adolf Hitler, were reported by the Community Security Initiative. Ramirez appeared in court and was granted a psychological exam due to reported mental health disorders. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison. District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized zero tolerance for antisemitism and assured vigilance in protecting the Jewish community in Manhattan.
