The teacher is question is Samantha Ness, who works at Alliance Education Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. According to the staff directory, Ness works the district’s Students With Unique Needs (SUN) program. The program works with students with autism spectrum disorders, developmental cognitive disabilities, and emotional behavior disorders, Alpha News reported.
According to Superintendent Mark Zuzek of Intermediate School District 917, the district received complaints about the teacher's tweet.
"Over the weekend, the district has received a complaint regarding an employee. The employee has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Pursuant with the data practices act, we are limited to providing additional information regarding this matter," Zuzek said in a statement.
Secret Service and FBI in Minnesota were contacted regarding the concerning tweets, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
The tweets were made hours after Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Ness deleted both her Facebook and Twitter accounts but Twitter users screencapped her threats.
It remains unclear whether the teacher will be charged with a crime or what law enforcement agency will investigate the threat.
According to the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Attorney General has prosecuted two people in recent years for making similar threats against federal district court judges.

I heard about this earlier and was hoping it would go viral.
Since the Tweet was a “one off” and we don’t have a twitter meta-tag here I was unsure on how to proceed at FR mechanically.
JR — anything in the offing? I was able to simulte YT with HTML but twitter expects tw meta-HTML.
Does anyone doubt that the unspoken goal of most of the MSM and a good percentage of elected Democrats is that someone take DJT out?
It is not unspoken. It would take a professional with much support to hurt the president. Unfortunately, the lower level government officials do not have that kind of protection.
Before long, the restaurant harassment is going to escalate.
Prosecute this bitch!
Love trumps hate, they claim.
I lived in Minnesota between 2001 and 2011, and found the hatred of George W Bush to be at near psychosis level. The moonbattery in Minneapolis must be way of the charts now.
On paid leave? WTF. hang her.
No words....
A ‘teacher’ in charge of kids with “emotional behavior disorders” tweets this crap encouraging them to take one for the team?
No words for such a lack of judgement.
This should be prosecuted on many levels.
Well, if MN voters are stupid enough to vote for Ellison, this lady will have nothing to worry about.
I hear that Ford gal is mad. “Take one for the team” was HER line!
She’s a spaz.
My mother was a Swede from Minnesota. She was the sweetest, kindest human who ever lived; inside and out.
Her grandparents immigrated from the Bay of Bothnia are near Finland. They were always rock ribbed Republicans in deep Dem MN.
She and my father arrived at the train station in DC on the same day. She for a new job, he was on his way to Europe during WWII.
On his way home from Europe he had train ticket sent to her for Texas. They were married the night she arrived. When she died they had been married 66 years. My dad will be 93 later part of this month.
I assure you not all of MN is as seen on TV.
Just say no to the government indoctrination centers....
Prosecute this bitch!

Agreed!
I bet you twitter didn’t suspend her account
I know. I met some lovely people who may or may not have been democrats when I spent a bunch of time in Rochester back in the mid-eighties. Best regards and early happy birthday wishes to your dad.
Any teacher with unusually colored hair is mentally unstable
