PORTLAND, Ore. (Mar. 16, 2026) — A federal grand jury in Portland has indicted a Portland man accused of threatening an elected official and a minor online, federal prosecutors said.
Travis William Juhr, 41, is charged with transmitting interstate threats following an indictment returned last Tuesday in federal court.
According to court documents, Juhr threatened an elected official in Nevada by leaving a threatening voicemail and posting a message on his X account that read, “I hope you have your doors and windows locked. Because I love a challenge when hunting my PREY…” along with a photograph of the victim.
Prosecutors said Juhr also threatened a minor who had attended a counter-protest supporting agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The minor later received several threatening messages from Juhr from different X accounts after the victim’s personal identifying information was posted online.
Juhr made his first appearance in federal court Friday before a U.S. magistrate judge. He was arraigned and entered a plea of not guilty.
If convicted, Juhr faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan G. Bodell is prosecuting.
An indictment is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
