The FBI arrested a Tennessee man after he made plans to go to the U.S. border with Mexico and kill Border Patrol agents, a criminal complaint says.

Paul Faye Sr. is charged with possessing, selling or transferring a firearm with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives National Firearm Registration and Transfer Record. Faye came onto the FBI’s radar after the May 2023 arrest of Bryan C. Perry, 37, of Clarksville, Tennessee, who also is accused of planning to kill border agents. A review of Perry’s cellphone showed extensive contact between him and Faye, according to the complaint.

Faye expressed his desire to go to the border to commit violence, the complaint said. In March, undercover FBI employees contacted Faye via TikTok and struck up a relationship with him.
