Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
A federal jury convicted Logan Christopher Murfin, a 26-year-old from Skiatook, Oklahoma, on Apr. 27 for making multiple posts on X that threatened to shoot and kill U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
The case highlights the federal government's commitment to prosecuting threats against law enforcement officers. The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma enforces federal laws through impartial litigation and strategic partnerships to enhance community safety, according to the official website.
Murfin was found guilty of five counts of threatening to assault and murder federal law enforcement officers with intent to impede, intimidate, interfere, and retaliate, as well as five counts of interstate communication with a threat to injure. "Threatening to kill hard-working federal law enforcement officers will not be tolerated," said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. "In the Northern District of Oklahoma, we will prosecute those who do to the fullest extent that federal law allows." Travis Pickard, Homeland Security Investigations Dallas Special Agent in Charge said: "This verdict underscores the seriousness with which threats against federal agents are treated. In the past year, we have seen a significant increase in violence, including death threats and assaults, toward our personnel. We will work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to ensure those who attempt to intimidate or harm federal officers are held accountable. This outcome sends a clear message that such actions will not be tolerated."
According to evidence presented at trial, Homeland Security Investigations received an intelligence report in October 2025 about threatening posts made under the username “Azulenq.” Agents used search warrants to identify Murfin as the account holder posting these messages from his home in Skiatook. After his arrest in December 2025 by a federal grand jury indictment and being Mirandized, Murfin admitted he was angry at ICE agents and acknowledged making these posts; this admission was played for jurors during trial proceedings.
The public posts included explicit calls for violence against ICE agents between September and October 2025 in response to other users' discussions about ICE activities within communities.
Prior to trial Murfin had been out on bond but was taken into custody following conviction; sentencing is pending scheduling by court officials.
The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma covers 11 counties in northeastern Oklahoma—including Tulsa County—and employs more than 65 Assistant United States Attorneys who contribute toward community safety through prosecution efforts as part of its role within the Department of Justice according to its official website.
