A man stands accused of threatening to murder President Donald Trump and “feed” his face to “stray dogs,” according to prosecutors.
Kadrioan Santiago, 23, from Berea, Kentucky, allegedly made the threats while amassing weapons including rifles and other tactical equipment, authorities claim. His threats were not limited to Trump alone but also extended to ICE agents, according to the Justice Department’s press release.
“Santiago, under the username ‘kadi_skating,’ had been posting a series of politically violent threats and statements on Instagram between January 2026 and late March 2026,” the release claims.
“Among other things, Santiago threatened to cut President Donald Trump‘s face with a razor blade, pull his skin off and feed the skin to stray dogs; threatened to kill the next member of law enforcement who interacted with him; encouraged others to shoot at ICE agents; and threatened to kill ICE agents himself.”
He purportedly posted that “no one is spared.” In January this year he posted: “Im filled with political violence.
“STUFF A GRENADE IN THEIR AHH AND BLOW IT UP,” he wrote in a March 2 post, the complaint alleges. “I’ll defend your queer rights with my guns.”

In a separate post he allegedly targeted Trump, writing: “@potus better never let me get my hands on you,” according to court documents.
“I will actually drag a razor blade down your face and slip it under your skin and pull your skin off, cook it and feed it to some stray dogs,” Santiago allegedly wrote in a March 27 post. Other alleged threats posted online include “Death to the American nazi regime” and “the american people NEED to start shooting at the necks, legs, and arms of ICE agents.”
Santiago had allegedly begun uploading images of his expanding arsenal of weapons from March of this year.
“Registered car, unregistered firearms,” Santiago stated in a March 23 post featuring a photo of what appeared to be an “assault firearm” on someone’s lap, court documents claim.
He was apprehended during a traffic stop on April 14, say police.

Officers report discovering a substantial cache of weapons on his person, including a “handgun, an AR-15-style rifle, an additional long gun, multiple magazines, a Kevlar helmet, gas masks, and various survival gear,” the sheriff’s office confirmed.
Garrard County Sheriff Willie Skeens issued a statement voicing serious concerns:
“The nature of these federal charges, combined with the weapons and tactical gear located, is extremely alarming,” and “Fortunately, nobody was injured during this arrest.”
Santiago is due to appear in court for a detention and preliminary hearing on Monday.
