Nathaniel James McGuire, 22, has pleaded guilty to carrying out a bombing attack on the Santa Maria courthouse in California in September 2024 after his firearms were seized by law enforcement.1 McGuire threw a backpack containing an explosive device into the courthouse, injuring three people and causing $35,000 in damage to the building.1
According to federal authorities, McGuire had arrived at the courthouse with two long guns and ten Molotov cocktails in his vehicle.1 He was arrested by law enforcement officers before he could re-enter the building.1 McGuire has entered guilty pleas on two counts: possession of a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of a building with an explosive device.1 Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg stated that "McGuire perpetrated a vicious terrorist attack on the courthouse with the intent to kill law enforcement officers and judges."1
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 1, with McGuire facing a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.1 The attack reflects broader security concerns facing the judiciary; federal judges, prosecutors, and court officials received more than 4,500 threats in 2021, representing a 400 percent increase compared to 2015.1
