Federal charges: Man admits to threatening Michigan AG over religion, perceived sexual orientation

—

A New York man has pleaded guilty to a federal crime threatening Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
According to court documents, on Oct. 21, 2023, Nessel posted to her X account a photograph of herself and her friend who had been murdered that day.
Along with the photograph, Nessel described her friend’s faith and contributions to the community and expressed grief and shock about the murder.
The next day, Kevin Delgado, 40, of Bayside, New York, replied threateningly to Nessel’s post.
Delgado then pleaded guilty to one count of transmitting threats in interstate commerce.
The 40-year-old man admitted that he threatened her because of her religion and her perceived sexual orientation.
The United States District Court will sentence Delgado on Sept. 22, 2025.
