Jamison Wagner Arrested for Arson

Jamison Wagner, a 40-year-old man from Albuquerque, Mexico, has been federally charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives. These charges stem from two separate arson incidents: one on February 9 at a Tesla, Inc. showroom in Albuquerque, where windows were shattered and two Tesla Model Ys were set on fire, and another on March 30 at the United States — Republican Party (United States) office, where the entrance was set ablaze and 'ICE=KKK' was graffitied. Investigators, including the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States — Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, linked Jamison Wagner to the crimes through surveillance footage, vehicle identification, and evidence found during a search of his home, including incendiary devices and spray paint. Attorney General Pam Bondi and other officials have condemned these acts as political violence, with some calling for them to be treated as domestic terrorism. Jamison Wagner's arrest is part of a broader effort to address a wave of attacks targeting Tesla, Inc. properties, often linked to public backlash against Elon Musk and his association with the Donald Trump administration.
