ORLANDO, Fla. — A Massachusetts man was sentenced Wednesday to nine years and 11 months in federal prison for making interstate threats to injure U.S. Rep. Randy Fine and Fine’s children.
Edwin Guerrero, 26, was also ordered to pay a $15,000 fine. He pleaded guilty on March 23 to making interstate threats.
Court records show Guerrero posted a series of antisemitic social-media threats targeting Fine between Aug. 10 and Aug. 15, 2024, when Fine was a member of the Florida House of Representatives.
I never thought my sons would be the victims of a violent federal felony. On August 14, 2024, we sent David to his first day of Junior High. We planned to celebrate as a family when he came home. Instead, he arrived that afternoon to a swarm of police to protect him from a Muslim terrorist who said that this “precious Jewish boy” would have his “brains blown in.” Yesterday, Muslim terrorist Edwin Guerrero was sentenced to 9 years and 11 months in federal prison for threatening to kill me and my sons. Threats against any elected official are unacceptable. And thanks to the @fdlepio, @BrevardSheriff, @FBI, @USAO_MDFL, and one incredible Federal Judge, we have sent a clear message. Threaten violence against an elected official in Florida or their family, and your life as you know it is over. https://t.co/xehJWIXHSQ

Investigators traced the messages to an IP address in Spain, where Guerrero was traveling.
In one post, Guerrero suggested he was traveling to Brevard County and included an image of a person who appeared to be holding a firearm, according to court documents. Other messages threatened Fine’s two sons and referenced violence.
After returning to the United States, Guerrero admitted to sending the messages, authorities said. A search of his phone found internet history containing antisemitic and anti-Israel material.
Judge Gaylord Moe found that Guerrero’s threats were hate-motivated and cited the need to deter threats against Jewish people, public officials and other protected groups.
“Threats of intimidation or harm against public officials or anyone for their political or religious beliefs will not be tolerated,” U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe said in a statement. “We will take such acts seriously and prosecute these offenders to the fullest extent of the law.”
The FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Courtney Richardson-Jones prosecuted it.
