		</div><p>A 34-year-old Texas man has been arrested for allegedly taking part in the storming of the US Capitol this month and posting violent threats, including a call to assassinate Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.</p>
<p>Garret Miller, who is from the Dallas suburb of Richardson, was arrested on Friday after being named in a five-count federal complaint.</p>
<p>Authorities allege that Miller posted photos and videos on his social media accounts that show him inside the Capitol during the January 6 storming of the building by supporters of then-president Donald Trump.</p>
<p>It is also alleged that he called for violence in online posts, including a tweet that simply read: “Assassinate AOC,” a reference to Ms Ocasio-Cortez.</p>
<p>In another tweet, Miller posted: “They are right next time we bring the guns,” an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Just wanted to incriminate myself a little”</p>
<p>Well, you did! <a href="https://t.co/Y0MbtHwsUr">https://t.co/Y0MbtHwsUr</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1352767726117408769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 22, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Miller also threatened a US Capitol police officer during an exchange on Instagram, writing that he planned to “hug his neck with a nice rope”, the affidavit states.</p>
<p>After posting a photo on Facebook showing him inside the Capitol, Miller responded to a comment on the picture with: “just want to incriminate myself a little lol,” according to an FBI affidavit.</p>
<p>Ms Ocasio-Cortez posted Miller’s charging documents on Twitter on Friday and then tweeted: “On one hand you have to laugh, and on the other know that the reason they were this brazen is because they thought they were going to succeed.”</p>
<p>Miller’s lawyer, Clint Broden, said his client regrets the actions he took “in a misguided effort to show his support for former President Trump.</p>
<p>“His social media comments reflect very ill-considered political hyperbole in very divided times and will certainly not be repeated in the future,” Mr Broden said.</p>
<p>“He looks forward to putting all of this behind him.</p>
<p>“We are hopeful that, given his family support and regret for his actions, he will be released so that he can resolve the charges against him in a timely fashion.”</p>
<p>Miller is scheduled to appear at a detention hearing on Monday.</p>
