A 31-year-old man from Houston, Jordan Nicholas Hadley, has been arrested by federal authorities for allegedly delivering a graphic and antisemitic voicemail that threatened employees at an Atlanta-based company. His arrest marks him as the fourth individual within the past year to face federal charges for making antisemitic threats in the Northern District of Georgia.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia revealed that Hadley was taken into custody on July 9, following a criminal complaint. He now faces serious federal charges for his online and phone-based antisemitic threats.
Details of the Allegations
According to U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg, Hadley left a voicemail for Flock Safety, an Atlanta company, on April 24. In the message, he reportedly used both homophobic and antisemitic slurs, declaring, “You’re a bunch of Jewish fa–ots who are breaking the Constitution. Film me and see what f–king happens. I’ll find you and I’ll f–king kill you.”
Hadley is expected to make his initial court appearance in Atlanta at a date yet to be determined.
Statements from Officials
Federal officials have expressed their commitment to addressing such hate crimes. U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg stated, “These men allegedly spewed vile hate and threatened violent attacks against Jews. Threats against any person based on his or her religious beliefs will not be tolerated, and these charges reflect my office’s commitment to working with law enforcement partners to combat the pernicious evil of antisemitism and hold accountable anyone who threatens members of our community.”
Marlo Graham, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Atlanta, added, “Antisemitic hate has no place in Georgia or anywhere. The FBI’s work to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution includes the assurance to every single American that they are allowed to practice their religion without fear of threats or harm.”
