A man has been arrested in connection with arson attacks on a Republican headquarters in New Mexico and a Tesla showroom.
However, it’s a photo of the man – wearing blue lipstick – that’s getting attention on social media.
Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross shared the photo on X and wrote, “DOJ publishes drivers license photo of Jamison Wagner, the suspect in firebombing of GOP office in New Mexico and Tesla dealership, in which he’s wearing blue lipstick. He’s also a member of “500 Queer Scientists.”
The Justice Department published details and photos in a lengthy press release on Monday.
According to court documents, in the early morning hours of Feb. 9, 2025, the Tesla Albuquerque Showroom was targeted in an arson attack. Two Tesla vehicles were involved in the fire, one of which was significantly damaged.
An intact glass container containing an improvised napalm material was found in the second vehicle. Investigators noted a hand-written capital “I” or “H” letter on the top of the green metal lid.
The following month, in the early morning hours of March 30, 2025, a second arson attack occurred, this time at the Republican Party New Mexico (RPNM) office. The fire significantly damaged the front door and entry area. At the scene, investigators collected shattered glass and metal lids from what appeared to be two to three separate glass containers. Two of the lids bore a handwritten capital “I” or “H,” similar in appearance to the letter found on the lid of the glass container at the Tesla scene.

Journalist Andy Ngo shared additional details:
The DOJ has charged a far-left queer activist over the arson attacks on a Tesla store in Albuquerque and the office of the Republican Party of New Mexico.
Jamison Wagner, 40, an electrical engineer whose LinkedIn said he works at @SolaeroTech Technologies, allegedly attacked the Tesla store on Feb. 9 and left Antifa messages urging for Elon Musk to be killed.
On March 30, Wagner allegedly set the Republican office on fire and sprayed the message, “ICE=KKK.” He was a featured “scientist” for leftist group
@500QueerSci. He’s charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives.
Leftists and Antifa have been escalating calls for deadly political violence as revenge against President Trump and Musk.
Albuquerque domestic terror suspect Jamison Wagner, an engineer for @SolaeroTech, is a far-left extremist who posts Antifa and anti-conservative content all over his social media. He has posts expressing desires that President Trump and his supporters die.
Wagner is accused of carrying out arson attacks on the Republican Party headquarters in New Mexico and a Tesla store.
Wagner also posted content from Antifa radical Gwen Snyder and Emily Gorcenski—both online far-left activists who have tried to get me canceled for exposing their lies. This is at least the second time Gorcenski has been linked to a violent extremist. The first time was Antifa mass shooter Connor Betts, who often shared Gorcenski’s work before gunning down nine people in 2019.

Funny. None of the other major news organizations have mentioned Jamison Wagner is a Democrats who identifies as Queer.
He has been arrested for firebombing Teslas and firebombing the GOP Albuquerque, New Mexico GQ.
I wonder why? https://t.co/elZ0uJikND pic.twitter.com/wgMX3BnH3n
