On Inauguration Day, U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland was fatally shot near the Canadian border in Coventry, Vermont, during a traffic stop involving two individuals now linked to alleged far-left extremist activity. The suspects—German national Felix "Ophelia" Bauckholt and Washington resident Teresa "Milo" Consuelo Youngblut—are described as having ties to a trans militant group reportedly under federal investigation.
