OKLAHOMA CITY – A federal Indictment has been returned charging TAYLOR RYAN PRIGMORE, 30, of McLoud, Oklahoma, with attempting to murder federal law enforcement officers, assaulting federal officers, possessing, brandishing, and discharging a firearm in the furtherance of a crime of violence, and threatening to murder federal agents and others, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
According to court records, beginning on May 9, 2025, and continuing through January 17, 2026, a YouTube account holder—alleged to be Prigmore—posted multiple comments on various videos threatening to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and others. Prigmore also threatened to kill any law enforcement officers who came to his residence, stating he wanted to kill “as many as possible.”
On January 19, 2026, the FBI arrested Prigmore. During a brief standoff before his arrest, Prigmore fired multiple rounds at federal agents. No one was injured.
On February 17, 2026, a federal Grand Jury returned an Indictment, charging Prigmore with attempted murder of federal law enforcement, assaulting federal officers, possessing, brandishing, and discharging a firearm in the furtherance of a crime of violence, four counts of threatening to murder federal law enforcement officers, and two counts of communicating a threat. If found guilty as charged, Prigmore faces up to 100 years in federal prison, and fines of up to $2,250,000.
The public is reminded that these charges are merely allegations, and that the defendant is innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The FBI Oklahoma City Field Office’s Joint Terrorism Task Force investigated the case, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Arvo Mikkanen and Matt Dillon are prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
