Take a look:
Thanks to the great work of @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and @HSI_HQ the suspect wanted in the attack on @USAttyHabba’s office is now in custody.
No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great US Attorneys or the destruction of their offices.

Background
In case you missed it, Habba's New Jersey office was broken into on Wednesday.
Bondi revealed some of the details of the incident, writing:
Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend @USAttyHabba — destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene. Thankfully, Alina is ok. Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period. This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.
As mentioned, Habba was not injured in the incident. She put out a statement, saying, "I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job."
Meanwhile, Bondi vowed to bring the perpetrator to justice.
She wrote:
We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice. Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.
Arrest made
Federal authorities quickly identified the suspect as 51-year-old Keith Lisa of California. The Washington Examiner reports, "The FBI had put out a $25,000 bounty on Keith Lisa before his apprehension and charging on Saturday."
Bondi, following the arrest, released a statement, saying:
Thanks to the great work of @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and @HSI_HQ the suspect wanted in the attack on @USAttyHabba’s office is now in custody. No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great US Attorneys or the destruction of their offices.
More details have also been provided about the break-in.
The FBI revealed:
Keith Michael Lisa is wanted for allegedly entering the Peter W. Rodino Federal Building in Newark, New Jersey, on November 12, 2025, while in possession of a bat. After being denied entry, he discarded the bat and returned. Once inside the building, he proceeded to the U.S. Attorney's Office where he damaged government property. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Lisa on November 13, 2025, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey after he was charged with Possession of a Dangerous Weapon in a Federal Facility and Depredation of Federal Property.
The FBI adds that "Lisa has ties to New York City, New York, and Mahwah, New Jersey."
