YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA former graduate teaching assistant at Illinois State University sparked controversy after flipping over a Turning Point USA table on campus, an incident caught on video that later went viral. Investigators say the attention from that video led more people to scrutinize his inflammatory social media posts, which were already on the FBI’s radar and had prompted prior warnings about crossing into terroristic threat territory. Derek Lopez was ultimately arrested, fired from the university, and jailed, now facing up to five years in federal prison over alleged online threats, including against the president. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner goes Inside the Crime.
