Marco Antonio Aguayo faces federal charges for threatening Vice President Vance with pipe bombs on Disneyland's Instagram during the July 12, 2025 visit, prosecutors said.

  • On July 12, 2025, Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, posted threats on Disneyland's official Instagram during Vice President J.D. Vance's visit and was charged Wednesday.
  • When agents confronted Marco Antonio Aguayo, he initially denied authorship and suggested his account was hacked, but later admitted writing the comments and said he `intended it merely as a joke to provoke attention and laughter`, according to the affidavit.
  • The complaint cites three threatening comments posted around 6.15 p.m. from Instagram handle `@jesses_andamy`, which appeared unavailable Friday morning.
  • Secret Service and Anaheim Police visited Aguayo's residence the same day, secured a search warrant, examined devices, while Disneyland's operations were unaffected despite flight restrictions and protests at Grand California Hotel & Spa.
  • Court Watch first reported the charges, The Independent contacted the White House and U.S. Secret Service, and the Disneyland spokesperson declined to comment while custody and counsel status remain uncertain.
