Local outlet WFLA reported that in his message, Albizar-Martinez said in Spanish, "I’m going to plant a bomb in your office. It’s a threat," and "It’s a threat, so take it however you want you son of a f****** b****."

The outlet also reported that in the same message, Albizar-Martinez also attacked Democrats, black people and pro-Palestinian people.

Commenting on his arrest by ICE, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Fox News Digital that "there is no place for political violence in America."

"Rigoberto Albizar-Martinez threatened to bomb a Congresswoman’s office," said McLaughlin. "Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE, this illegal alien and national security threat will be out of our country.

"Nothing will deter us to remove the worst of the worst from America communities," she added.

Castor did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

This comes shortly after DHS announced that two million illegal immigrants "have been removed or have self-deported" from the U.S. since Jan. 20, putting the Trump administration on pace to break records.

In less than 250 days, an estimated 1.6 million illegal immigrants have voluntarily self-deported, while 400,000 were removed by federal law enforcement, the DHS said last week, describing the situation as a "new milestone."

"Ramped-up immigration enforcement targeting the worst of the worst is removing more and more criminal illegal aliens off our streets every day and is sending a clear message to anyone else in this country illegally: Self-deport or we will arrest and deport you," said McLaughlin.
