A potential Trump assassin has been detained in the United States

Law enforcement officers in the US state of Arizona caught a man threatening to kill former US President Donald Trump, local police said.

Earlier, the Cochise County Sheriff's office in Arizona reported that law enforcement officers were looking for 66-year-old Ronald Lee in the case of threats to kill Trump. The former head of the White House himself spoke on Thursday in the state (on the border with Mexico) about the record influx of illegal immigrants during the presidency of Joe Biden.

"The subject was taken into custody without any incident in Cochise County," the county sheriff's office said on social media.

The man, as previously reported by the police, was also wanted for hitting a man and not registering as a sex offender.
