Armed Man Arrested Near Trump Rally Amid Rising Election Tensions

The suspect, linked to a right-wing extremist group, was detained with unregistered weapons but released on bail pending investigation.

  • A 49-year-old man was arrested with two unregistered firearms and multiple fake IDs at a security checkpoint near a Trump rally in Coachella, California.
  • The suspect, believed to be part of a group similar to Germany's Reichsbürger, was released on a $5,000 bail; investigations are ongoing.
  • Authorities, including the Secret Service, stated that there was no direct threat to Donald Trump, who had not yet arrived at the event.
  • Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Trump supporter, suggested the arrest might have prevented a third assassination attempt on Trump, though the FBI is not treating it as such.
  • The incident comes as Trump warns of potential election chaos caused by 'radical leftists,' advocating for military intervention if necessary.
