Politician Faces Charges for Death Threats

A 49-year-old man, Pao Her Lee, faces felony threats and harassment charges after allegedly sending emails in 2025 containing violent imagery—including bullet holes on politicians’ heads—shortly after the murder of Melissa Hortman. The threats, which reportedly included calls for death and incited anger, also coincided with Her finding her gate propped open, heightening fears of real-world danger. With Her now mayor of St. Paul, the case was moved to Hennepin County, where prosecutors call the actions “reprehensible.” Lee’s first court appearance is July 10 at 9 AM, underscoring the chilling reality of online threats impacting public safety.
