Jaime Tran was sentenced to 35 years in prison for shooting two Jewish men as they left synagogues, reflecting a serious escalation of antisemitism in Los Angeles.
US attorney Martin Estrada stated, targeting people for death based solely on their religious background revives memories of history's darkest chapters, highlighting the danger of hate crimes.
The Justice Department emphasized its commitment to confronting antisemitism, with Attorney General Merrick Garland asserting that no Jewish person in America should fear being targeted for their identity.
Federal prosecutors revealed Tran had previously demonstrated a history of antisemitic conduct, including threats and derogatory messages, showcasing the alarming prevalence of such behavior.
