In a video message titled "Justice is coming" shared on her X account, Attorney General Bondi announced the sentence sought for Fredrick, who is accused of throwing a firebomb at a Tesla dealership in the state of Colorado on March 7.
Stating, "We are seeking a 20-year prison sentence" against Fredrick, Bondi noted that all these incidents pose a serious threat to public safety and that, therefore, "there will be no plea bargaining."
Bondi stated, "I have made it clear: If you participate in a wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will put you behind bars."
In the US press, Attorney General Bondi's warnings were characterized as a "threat" to those planning to participate in future protests against Tesla dealerships in the country.

Recently, demonstrations have been held in front of Tesla car dealerships in different regions of the US, owned by billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and there have been detentions during the protests.
US President Donald Trump had purchased a Tesla vehicle to show his support for Musk, whom he appointed as a senior advisor.
Trump had emphasized that violent acts against Tesla dealerships would be classified as "domestic terrorism" and would have severe consequences for the perpetrators.
