(JEWISH GROUP) Las Vegas man sentenced to prison for threatening US Sen. Jacky Rosen and her family
A Las Vegas man who made antisemitic threats against Nevada U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen and her family has been sentenced to just under four years in federal prison.
Rosen, a Democrat, is Jewish and has maintained a vocal pro-Israel stance. Rosen’s office previously confirmed that she and her family were targeted.
John Anthony Miller, 44, was sentenced Tuesday to 46 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty in December to one count of threatening a federal official and other charges. Prosecutors say Miller also made threats against the family of another unnamed U.S. senator.
In October 2023, Miller made several threatening calls and left a series of threatening voicemails containing antisemitic slurs to Rosen. In some of them, he referenced the Israel-Hamas war and the Holocaust, according to prosecutors.
