The U.S. Justice Department told reporters today that a man in South Florida is in custody in connection with mailing of pipe bombs to political opponents of Donald Trump.
Senior law enforcement sources have identified the suspect in the investigation as Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, of Aventura, Florida.

Re: Trump (4.00 / 3)

Sayoc is a registered Republican who voted in the 2016 election, but who has numerous felony arrests, including one for another pipe bomb incident. Guess it is mostly black Floridians who get their voting rights removed for felonies. Or he was never convicted of any of these offenses. It was his genetic profile from previous cases that led law enforcement to him this time.
