A Democratic congressman from Florida said police arrested an allegedly armed suspect and placed him on a target list near his home the day before the election.

Representative Jared Moskowitz said on X Friday that the suspect was “an ex-con who had a rifle, a silencer, and body armor.”

“Found with him was a manifesto that contained, among other things, anti-Semitic rhetoric and included only my name on the ‘target’ list,” Moskowitz said. Moskowitz said, adding that there were other details that he did not want to disclose due to the ongoing investigation.

The Margate Police Department, which Moskowitz said informed him of the arrest, did not immediately return messages seeking comment on the incident.

Moskowitz stated that he was on the House task force investigating the assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump.

“I understand the failures and importance of fixing the protection of our current and future Commander in Chief and Vice President. At the same time, I am deeply concerned about the safety of members of Congress and the significant lack of that when we are in the district. Regardless of our political leanings or differences, we all have families we want to keep safe,” he said.
