A Brooklyn, Maryland man has been sentenced to federal prison for making threats transmitted via interstate communication, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland. Raymond Pumphrey, 47, received a 15-month sentence followed by three years of supervised release for his actions, which included hate-filled rhetoric and threats against specific communities and public officials.
The investigation, a collaborative effort between the FBI Baltimore Field Office and the U.S. Secret Service Baltimore Field Office, uncovered a pattern of threatening posts made by Pumphrey on social media platforms, notably YouTube. These posts primarily targeted Black and Muslim communities, advocating for violence and expressing intent to participate in killings. Pumphrey also issued threats against multiple politicians and their families. U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, and Special Agent in Charge Jimmy Paul of the FBI, along with Special Agent in Charge Brian McDonough of the U.S. Secret Service, announced the sentencing.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The prosecution of this case was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maryam Zhuravitsky.
