Federal authorities have charged 40-year-old Jamison Wagner of Albuquerque with two counts of arson tied to politically charged firebombing attacks on both a Tesla showroom and the Republican Party of New Mexico headquarters, labeling the incidents as acts of domestic terrorism.
Wagner, a self-styled radical, was arrested on April 12 following an extensive federal investigation involving the FBI, ATF, Albuquerque Police, and other law enforcement agencies.
According to a profile he has on “500 Queer Scientists,” he describes himself as “queer and I am an electrical engineer.” It has been independently verified through voter registration records that Wagner is a registered Democrat.
“I have a B.S. in electrical engineering, and am starting my Masters in EE this summer. My track specialty is electromagnetics/plasma physics and I’m currently working as an intern for a national lab doing PCB design for x-ray imaging,” he wrote.
He shared via Facebook in November of 2024 the same graphic that state Rep. Liz Thomson (D-Albuquerque) shared comparing police officers to the KKK. In a post from December 31, 2020, he called for their complete abolition. Other posts from Wagner include support for the anti-police Black Lives Matter organization, posts calling law enforcers “bas****s,” and content praising homicidal communist leader Karl Marx.
In other posts, Wagner shared content reading, “The Republican Party is the party of white supremacist fascism. That’s all it stands for,” in an ironic take, as his actions appear to be those of fascists bringing down the opposition instead of engaging in the republican democratic process.
In other posts, Wagner described himself as “bisexual” and, in others “non-binary.”
He has shared violent content before, including a graphic reading, “Guillotine 2020,” alluding to assassination.
Officials linked Wagner to the February 9 firebombing of the Tesla showroom in Bernalillo and the March 30 arson attack on the RPNM headquarters in Albuquerque, both carried out using homemade incendiary devices.
According to the criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, Wagner used improvised “napalm” devices packed in glass jars to ignite fires at both sites, leaving behind spray-painted anti-Tesla and anti-ICE messages including “DIE ELON,” “TESLA NAZI INC,” and “ICE = KKK”. The graffiti and incendiary devices bore similar markings — hand-written letters “I” or “H” — linking the two incidents. Wagner’s tactics, the DOJ alleges, mirror those of left-wing extremists who target ideological opponents with violence.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi minced no words: “Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence. We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.”
Deputy AG Todd Blanche called the attacks “dangerous felonies” that should not be mistaken for protest. “Hurling firebombs is not political protest,” he said. “We are coming for you, you can’t hide, and you will do serious jail time to pay for your crimes.”
FBI Director Kash Patel was even more direct, stating that Wagner’s arrest is “part of the FBI’s aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country.” He added, “Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we will continue to locate and arrest those responsible for these acts of domestic terrorism.”
The evidence against Wagner is damning. Agents recovered from his home eight fully assembled incendiary devices, red and black spray paint, stencils matching those used at the crime scenes, and clothing seen in surveillance footage. Wagner’s white 2015 Hyundai Accent was also caught on video fleeing the scene of the RPNM attack. The license plate had been tampered with, and the plate lights were taped over — deliberate attempts to evade detection.
Wagner’s criminal complaint further details his connection to the scenes through forensic evidence, surveillance footage, and even physical traits, including his 6’4” height and balding head — both noted by investigators from videos of the Tesla fire.
“This arrest marks a critical step toward justice in the firebombing that targeted a Tesla dealership and the New Mexico Republican Party Headquarters,” said ATF Deputy Director Robert Cekada. “This is what ATF does best: we follow the evidence, we find the truth, and we bring offenders to justice.”
If convicted, Wagner faces up to 40 years in federal prison.
Federal officials are treating the case not just as arson but as a politically motivated terrorist act — a designation that sends a clear message: violence against political or corporate targets will not be tolerated in a civilized society.
Wagner remains in custody pending a detention hearing. The investigation is ongoing.

This is a developing story…
He is guilty, however the ones posting these types on are the MSM. They are the ones that are causing the problems!
Libtard!
THIS GUY IS AS DUMB AS A ROCK, GOOD THING HE WAS WORKING ON HIS MASTERS, OR IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN LAW ENFORCEMENT 10 OR 11 DAYS TO CATCH HIS DUMB ASS. LET’S NOT LET LEDGER/FERNANDEZ OFF THE HOOK ON THIS, SHE’S JUST AS CULPABLE.
Liz Thompson too!
He shouldn’t face Up To 40 years, it should be NO LESS THAN 40 YEARS!!! Since the same graphics have been used by Rep L Thomson(demoNAZI) I certainly hope she is being looked into!!!!
Individual responsibility died at the DNC as soon as the DNC could fix the blame on anything but the person or persons responsible for committing any crime.
That concept morphed into the American criminal justice system and bred like wildfire as soon as a defendant could enter into the courts they were abused as a child, they suffer from depression, or they were hurt by words used, or temporary insanitary or complete insanitary, and things like that… created the criminal actions they individually committed.
When the insane asylums were disbanded and the DNC moved the State towards mandatory release after involuntary commitments or a maximum of 21 days… acceptable crime was unleashed a little at a time.
When the DNC demands prison populations decline, or when the press continues to blast America as the highest incarceration rates in the world and continue to present it as a poor example… they, the left, and the DNC, AND THE MEDIA, fail to state that other nations dont have a smaller prison population because places like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, execute prisoners who cannot be rehabilitated according to what ever standard they have that dictates rehabilitation for execution.
I submit, America has a better heart than most nations and we believe in rehab of a criminal…but we got off the track when we refuse to immediately execute certain criminals…. as some crimes are not forgivable, by people, by victims, and by my God.
40 years in prison will not change this so called educated person, thing, he/she/it/us/they/them, WETF it is. “It” is beyond rehabilitation and these are the types of criminals the entire world is better off ending that strain of DNA… permanently.
I for one, am upset that my tax dollars are going to support this thing in prison for up to 40 years. Free food, clothing, shelter, and under the dam Duran Decree passed by the DNC in NM, will have rights in prison except the right to ROT.
Of course… IMHO…
Totally agree with you!! The American Taxpayers are on the hook for housing these criminals to the tune of 33K to 60K per prisoner per year. Thats more to care for SKUM than it is to pay or a 4 year College Education and degree, or better yet a good Trede School Trade that actually gives you the tools and skills to actually be a productive Citizen and able to contribute to the betterment of our society!!!
Classic communofascist — claim the opposition is doing the crime that you are doing.
Violently attacking political headquarters IS fascist!!!
It’s also an act of terrorism.
Let’s see if the evidence pans out – my money is on “overwhelming” , but let’s follow the American “innocent until proven guilty”, it’s more gratifying when he’s proven to be guilty.
PS-
Where’s the cartoon showing students being radicalized into fascists and terrorists that burn down cities and attack people that disagree with them???
Liz Thompson too!
Very satisfying news! Thank you, Piñon Post!
Needs to be in Gitmo. What say you?
Send this terrorist scum to El Salvador
I hope he gets what he deserves, let’s just see if he gets away with it
Americans need to be protected from ‘people’ like this whatever ‘it’ is. He not only is mental and dangerous, please don’t let him out even on bail. It just might kill the next person that disagrees with it. Satan has warped it’s mind. Domestic violence is all it knows. Need to be locked up and forgotten forever.
Of course he’s a registered Democrat. It’s the Democrats version of democracy.
Thank you, law enforcement.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF HATE TWO SENTORS LEDGER/FERNANDEZ SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL FOR THEIR ACTS AND THE MAN TAKEN TO EL SALVADOR TO LIVE THE REST OF HIS DAYS OR HAVE A PUBLIC HANGING
HERE’S THE FBI FORMAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT and make sure MLG gets it too because she held a Domestic Terrorist Conference with several law enforcement agencies, implying that MAGA/White Supremacists were the treat… BUT NOW… A REAL DOMESTIC TERRORIST THAT’S A DEMOCRAT… SO NOW WHAT MLG???
