Sid Miller Reports Personal Safety Threats Following Public Statements

March 3, 2026 – AUSTIN — Sid Miller said Monday he has received multiple threats to his personal safety over the past 24 hours, which he attributes to his recent public comments following a deadly terror attack in Austin.

In a statement, Miller said the threats stem from his condemnation of what he described as the “Islamification” of Texas and the United States, as well as his strong reaction to an early Sunday attack in Austin that left two people dead and 14 injured. He also referenced prior calls for federal action against organizations he believes pose security threats.

Several months ago, Miller publicly urged Donald J. Trump to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as terrorist organizations. He said that after those remarks, CAIR and its supporters called for his resignation, which he declined.

Miller said the latest threats are under active investigation by appropriate authorities. No further details have been released.

“I will not be intimidated or silenced,” Miller said, adding that the Texas Department of Agriculture remains focused on serving farmers, ranchers, and communities across the state.

Officials have not disclosed information about the source or nature of the threats.
