A former Freddie Mac employee was taken into custody after making bomb threats on social media against the government-sponsored enterprise, Breitbart reported. Maria Del Carmen Lopez Lozano allegedly said in a series of posts threatening the McLean, Virginia, headquarters and its employees.
Fairfax County Police arrested Lopez Lozanno, who worked in the company's tech department, on Wednesday following threats she made online. Although authorities haven't released the posts, an unnamed source close to the matter said the 38-year-old claimed she would "blow everything up in Freddie Mac right now so they know this is real and not fake," the source claimed.
"Give me a few more minutes and I will blow up this mother ****** building at Freddie Mac so people know that this is real and not fake," Lopez Lozanno is said to have added. She also allegedly made threats to President Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte.

The threats began after Lopez Lozano reportedly went live on Facebook while driving to the mortgage company's HQ1 building. She broadcasted herself going onto company grounds by pretending to be a senior executive.
She then lied about Pulte restoring her employment and giving her a promotion. Because of these antics, police arrested Lopez Lozano and charged her with trespassing and making a bomb threat.
Shockingly, police released her on Thursday morning, and a source close to the matter said she immediately resumed her online behavior. Freddie Mac and FHFAD, the agency overseeing the company, wouldn't confirm anything about the case, however.
It's not known why Lopez Lozanno made such threats as police have kept mum on the case. There has been turnover at the mortgage company, including the exit of Freddie Mac CEO Diana Reid board members who resigned from the affiliated financing company, Fannie Mae.
Notably, Pulte has cut some 200 employees, according to the UK Daily Mail, but it doesn't appear Lopez Lozano was one of them. Instead, she ranted that "Freddie Mac as an investor has hacked the brain using Artificial Intelligence, and they did it with the help of Maria Del Carmen Lozano."
There's something about the Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to streamline the government that has triggered unhinged attacks. Many of them are directed at the leader of the effort, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, or rather, the cars that he makes.
There's been an epidemic of attacks on Teslas and dealerships simply because of what Musk is trying to do with streamlining the government and rooting out fraud and waste, Fox News reported.
"The real problem is not the people. It's not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership," Musk told Fox News’ Bret Baier on "Special Report" Thursday.
"It's the people pushing the propaganda that cause that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here," Musk charged.
It's still unclear what motivated Lopez Lozanno, but it comes at a time when these unhinged attacks are happening because people are upset about Trump's agenda. It's time for disgruntled Americans to act with civility and not like criminals.
