A man who was arrested in Seattle allegedly called for the “extermination” of all Latinos in Facebook messages where he threatened to also harm and kill a woman in Florida, according to court records.
Eric Lin, 35, had an initial court hearing on Monday in Seattle federal court over a charge of interstate transmission of threatening communications connected to messages he allegedly sent a woman in Miami, according to court documents.
The woman provided printed messages totaling over 150 pages to authorities, which included racist and misogynistic statements as well as violent threats to injure or kill her, her family and all Latinos, according to the complaint. According to the FBI, the woman said she knew Lin as someone who frequented the restaurant where she worked and that the remarks in the messages mirrored comments he had made in the restaurant discussing mass shootings and idolizing Hitler.
