Dejaun Angelo, of Madison, Wis., was sentenced to three years in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old, who posted “racist and violent threats to kill Jews and African Americans,” was sentenced on charges of possessing and intending to distribute marijuana, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin said.

The FBI received a tip about Angelo’s social media posts and began investigating in June 2025, prosecutors said. Angelo wrote that he wanted to “hunt” Jews and black people “to extinction” and to “save the world from them.”

After executing a search warrant at Angelo’s apartment, officers found “numerous marijuana compounds, including approximately 19.5 pounds of marijuana, 423 grams of hashish and 1,500 grams of hashish oil,” prosecutors said. They added that he was operating a cannabis company.

Police also found firearms and “hundreds of ammunition boxes” in a storage unit that Angelo rented.

He was charged with terrorist threats and drug-related offenses and pleaded guilty to the marijuana possession with intent to distribute charge on Nov. 19. The judge “expressed profound concern” at the sentencing about “Angelo’s hateful online comments and noted that it was fortunate police stopped him ‘before he went further,’” prosecutors said.

Anessa Johnson claimed $10 million in damages after the private Washington school fired her for a series of antisemitic social media posts.
U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have precipitated the move by demanding congressional action in a social media post earlier on Wednesday.
JNS sought comment from Aria Fani and received an autoreply, “On leave until September. Will not check email with capitalist frequency.”
A spokesman for the Ivy told JNS that the school believes being required “to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns.”
The new program adds “America First foreign policy lectures” and shifts focus to merit and core diplomatic skills.
The man sent “several antisemitic and sexually derogatory letters” to the female prosecutor who tried his case, according to the ruling.
