Federal Charges Filed Against Suspect in Sacramento KXTV/ABC 10 Shooting - LINK

The Sacramento Police Department initially arrested Hernandez Santana on Friday evening, but Hernandez Santana was released on bail the next day. The FBI arrested him hours later. Hernandez Santana is scheduled to make his initial appearance on the amended criminal complaint on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

If convicted, Hernandez Santana faces a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for possessing and discharging a firearm within a school zone, and a maximum of one year in prison and a $10,000 fine for interfering with a radio communication station. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt

Affiliates were calling ABC and saying THEY weren't going to broadcast his show.

It mushroomed from there.

  ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​

The president of the united states threatened and continues to threaten ABC's broadcast license if they don't "deal" with people like Jimmy.  This is a direct violation of the 1st amendment.

If you didn’t have deflections, you wouldn’t have anything.

Trump violated Kimmel's free speech?

Hilarious.

Trump has. and continues to threaten ABC's broadcast license if they do not deal with people like Kimmel.  This should piss of anyone who believes in our first amendment freedoms.

Is that what HuffPo told you?

Making claims like that I'd ask you to put up verifiable proof of quid pro quo.

Don't give a shit.

Charlie Kirk was killed over his 1st Amendment freedoms.

Kimmel got his $15 million/year unfunny, Trump crying job back.

Kirk was killed because one non-political guy didn't like what he had to say and thought he'd stop, what he thought, was Kirk spreading hate.

Trump is going after anyone criticizing him, except South Park?, or anyone he perceives as 'did him wrong'. Nevermind him dealing with higher costs for food, gas and people's inability to afford a roof over their heads, his priorities are clear.

[Bush Master]

....sorta like when Republicans got deplatformed for political views.

If only we were flies on the wall of Kimmel's legal team's office, huh?

He was indefinitely suspended, that's legal talk for constructive dismissal or involuntary termination.

Given he's back on the air, this statement is obviously false.
As for the other:

They violated his freedom of speech, maybe his contract, maybe his artistic freedom...it will all come out.

Freedom of speech involves making speech illegal, NOT an employer regulating what an employee can say and still keep his job.

No.  It's a threat, empty bloviating.

Trump is just exercising his right to free speech.
