Fmr AOC campaign associate arrested for 'terroristic threat' against school over Jewish students: report

A former youth campaign organizer for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been arrested in New York City for allegedly making threats against a Brooklyn public high school attended by Jewish students. Iman Abdul, 27, faces charges including making a terroristic threat, endangering the welfare of a child, aggravated harassment, and making a threat of mass harm. The incident reportedly involved social media posts targeting Leon Goldstein High School for the Sciences, with screenshots shared online prompting calls for prosecution from Jewish advocacy groups. Abdul pleaded not guilty and defended her post, claiming it was a call for verbal, not physical, action against the school. The case has sparked outrage among community members and activists, who are demanding swift and decisive action.
