华盛顿— 阿比盖尔·施里（Abigail Shry）对公职人员的口头威胁充满种族主义色彩、暴力倾向且内容详尽。她的威胁对象包括华盛顿一名联邦法官、众议院一名民主党议员以及得州议会大厦。据称，她曾表示将以“武装袭击”的方式“摧毁”得州政府，其暴力程度将超过1月6日的国会山骚乱。
一名联邦检察官曾表示，施里“精神失常”，构成危险。
现在又有了新的担忧：联邦当局找不到她了。
施里原定于周二前往佛罗里达州监狱报到，但她未现身且已失踪。一名法官已签发逮捕令，授权联邦特工寻找并逮捕她。
施里因最近一起威胁案件，即将开始服27个月的联邦监禁刑期。2024年11月，她在得州就其给华盛顿特区法官坦尼娅·楚特坎（Tanya Chutkan）办公室留下的语音信息，承认了一项联邦指控。
这一威胁发生在2023年8月楚特坎被指派监督特朗普2020年选举阴谋案之后几小时。据司法部称，施里称楚特坎是“愚蠢的奴隶 [侮辱性称呼]”，并表示“如果特朗普在2024年不当选，我们会来杀了你。所以行事谨慎点。”
住在得州休斯顿南部阿尔文市的施里还被指控威胁当时的民主党众议员希拉·杰克逊·李（Sheila Jackson Lee）。法庭文件称，施里在语音信息中表示“我要杀了李，还要亲自、公开地、针对你的家人，全部都不放过。”11个月后，李因自然原因去世。
今年，施里在法庭上多次提出延期服刑的动议，但均被法官驳回。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻了解到，施里原计划周二自行前往佛罗里达州塔拉哈西联邦惩教所报到，但未出现。休斯顿一名联邦法官已下令对其发出逮捕令。
通过审查得州州法院记录，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻发现，2023年在弹劾特朗普盟友、得州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）期间，施里还因威胁得州立法者而被调查。法庭文件显示，施里对这些威胁认罪，达成了90天监禁的认罪协议。
得州警方称，2023年7月，施里在休斯顿地区两名州参议员的语音信箱系统中留下威胁电话，警告称如果帕克斯顿被弹劾，“得州议会大厦将爆发战争”。
警方表示，施里明确称“将发动武装袭击，其暴力程度将不像1月6日美国国会山抗议活动那样非暴力”，还威胁称“我们会携带武器前往奥斯汀，摧毁政府。”
得州警方称，施里在2023年还对多名国会议员发出了另一系列威胁。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻查看的一份警方报告显示，施里“联系了多名美国国会当选官员，并针对他们发出类似威胁：如果唐纳德·特朗普不重新当选总统，他们也将面临美国国会大厦被袭击的风险。”
施里未前往联邦监狱报到，这将进一步影响其自由状态，并使其面临更大的法律风险。前华盛顿特区联邦检察官格雷格·罗森（Greg Rosen）告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，施里可能面临进一步的刑事诉讼。
“未自行报到或出庭会削弱法官在首次释放被告时对其的信任，”罗森说，“此外，根据联邦法典第18篇，这还会带来额外的刑事风险——检察官可能会为了阻止未来逃跑行为以及追究抓捕所需资源而对此提起诉讼。”
2023年8月，在施里威胁楚特坎后的听证会上，一名联邦检察官表达了对其威胁可能升级的担忧。
“法官，本案中我最大的担忧是她再次观看福克斯新闻，情绪激动，出去买几罐啤酒，继续让自己陷入愤怒，”根据听证会记录，检察官说道，“除了看她过去六个月的所作所为，无法预测这里会发生什么。”
“在这个特殊情况下，”检察官随后对法官表示，“我不想成为那个在肯尼迪遇刺前两天没有去检查李·哈维·奥斯瓦尔德的FBI探员。那种事发生了。这成了历史的注脚。而我今天站在这里，是因为这个被告精神失常，我相信还会有更多事情发生。”
施里的辩护律师未立即回应置评请求。在施里未自首后，其中一名律师周三提出了退出本案的动议。

2025年公职人员遭遇威胁事件激增

Pro-Trump Texas woman who made series of violent threats is missing after failing to report to prison
February 19, 2026 / 1:13 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— Abigail Shry’s verbal threats against public officials have been racist, violent and detailed. Her targets have included a federal judge in Washington, a Democrat in the House and the Texas Capitol. She allegedly once said she would “annihilate” the Texas government in an “armed attack” that would be more violent than the Jan. 6 insurrection.
At one point, a federal prosecutor said Shry was “unmoored” and posed a danger.
Now there’s a new concern: The feds can’t find her.
Shry was supposed to report to prison Tuesday in Florida, but she failed to show up and has gone on the lam. A judge has issued a bench warrant for federal agents to find and arrest her.
Shry was due to begin serving a 27-month federal prison sentence in her most recent threat case. She pleaded guilty in November 2024 to a federal charge in Texas for a phone message she left in the Washington, D.C., chambers of Judge Tanya Chutkan.
The threat came hours after Chutkan was assigned to oversee President Trump’s 2020 election conspiracy case in August 2023. According to the Justice Department, Shry called Chutkan a “stupid slave [epithet]” and said, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we’re coming to kill you. So tread lightly.”
Shry, who has lived in Alvin, Texas, south of Houston, was also accused of threatening then-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat. Court documents said Shry left a phone message saying she wanted to kill Lee and would target her “personally, publicly, your family, all of it.” Lee died by natural causes 11 months later.
Shry had been seeking to delay her federal prison term in a series of motions in court this year. But a judge denied those requests.
CBS News has learned Shry was scheduled to self-surrender to the federal correctional facility in Tallahassee, Florida, on Tuesday, but did not show. A federal judge in Houston has ordered a warrant for her arrest.
A CBS News review of Texas state court records found Shry was also under investigation for threats against Texas legislators in 2023, during impeachment proceedings against Trump ally and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Shry pleaded no contest to making the threats and reached a plea agreement to serve a 90-day jail term, according to court filings.
State police in Texas alleged Shry left a phone threat in July 2023 on the voicemail systems of two Houston-area state senators. Police said the messages warned that there would be “war on the Texas Capitol” if Paxton was impeached.
“Shry specifically states that there would be an armed attack and it would not be non-violent like the January 6th protests at the U.S. Capitol,” police said. They said Shry also warned that “we will take weapons, come to Austin and annihilate the government.”
According to Texas police, Shry had also made a separate set of threats against members of Congress in 2023. A police report reviewed by CBS News said Shry “contacted several U.S. elected officials in Congress and has made similar threats towards them pertaining to if Donald Trump is not reelected as president, they will also see an attack of the U.S. Capitol.”
Shry’s failure to report to federal prison will further complicate her freedom and expose her to greater legal jeopardy. Greg Rosen, a former federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., told CBS News that Shry risks facing further criminal proceedings.
“Failing to self-surrender or appear undermines the trust judges place in defendants when granting them release in the first instance,” Rosen said. “It also creates additional criminal exposure under Title 18 of the federal code — something prosecutors may pursue both to deter future flight and to account for the resources required to apprehend them.”
At a detention hearing for Shry in August 2023, in the days after Shry’s threat against Chutkan, a federal prosecutor expressed concern that Shry’s threats would escalate.
“Judge, my greatest concern in this case is that she starts watching Fox News again, gets herself spun up, she goes out, she gets a case of beer, continues to get herself spun up,” the prosecutor said, according to a transcript of the hearing. “There’s no way to gauge what’s going to happen here, except to look at what she’s done in the past six months.”
“In this particular instance,” the prosecutor then told the judge, “I don’t want to be that FBI agent that didn’t go check on Lee Harvey Oswald two days before John Kennedy was assassinated. That happened. And that’s the footnote in history. And I’m standing here before you today because this defendant is unmoored and I believe that there’s going to be more.”
Shry’s defense attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. One of those attorneys filed a motion Wednesday to withdraw from the case, after Shry failed to surrender.
