A third assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was thwarted on Saturday after a Las Vegas man was arrested with weapons and fake passes about a half mile from Trump’s campaign rally in Coachella Valley, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday.
Deputies assigned to Trump’s rally said the driver, Vem Miller, rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Bianco told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller — who he said is a member of a right–leaning anti-government group — planned to kill Trump and that deputies thwarted the plan when Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at a checkpoint.
“They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco said. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt.”
Miller is a registered Republican who holds a master’s degree from UCLA, and who ran for state assembly in Nevada in 2022.
Bianco said Miller considers himself a so-called sovereign citizen, a group of people who do not believe they are subject to any government statutes unless they consent to them.

The Sheriff’s Department set up what Bianco called a double perimeter that controlled access within a half mile of the rally. Residents were allowed through, but they were watched to make sure they drove to their neighborhoods and not toward the rally.
Miller was caught at one of those checkpoints.
Bianco said that the last he heard, Miller had not made any statements to investigators.
The sheriff said he is in disbelief.
“I thought it’s not going to happen in Riverside County. We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that. Go figure.”
Bianco said U.S. Secret Service officials said his department went “above and beyond” in their efforts to protect Trump and others who attended the rally.
“I am extremely proud of the mental and physical effort our deputies showed all day,” said Bianco, who noted high temperatures in the desert area were near 100 degrees.
Bianco also said the FBI is questioning another man after bomb-detecting dogs “repeatedly” identified him as possibly dangerous. That man was not allowed in the rally, Bianco said.
Miller was booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center for possessing a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine, authorities said.
He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at the Indio Larson Justice Center on Jan. 2, 2025, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department inmate database.
The incident did not impact the safety of Trump or those at the event, the sheriff’s department said.
In September, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with attempting to assassinate Trump as the former president played golf. U.S. Secret Service agents found Routh with a high-powered rifle on Sept. 15 outside Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. Agents spotted the barrel of his weapon in the bushes and fired at him before he fled.
On July 13, 2024, at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Matthew Crooks shot at Trump with an AR-15–style rifle from a nearby rooftop as Trump gave a campaign speech. Crooks hit Trump’s ear with a shot and killed one attendee while critically injuring two others before Crooks was killed by Secret Service counter-sniper agents

Is anybody really surprised after 8+ years of dog whistles from the left?
More like the Terminator; they cannot be bargained with, reasoned with, they don't feel pity or remorse, and they will not stop, ever...

A Las Vegas man was arrested with guns and fake I.D.s about a half mile from Trump’s campaign rally in Coachella Valley, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday. But while the sheriff called the arrest a thwarted assassination attempt, the man told a reporter he is a Trump supporter who bought the guns for his own safety and notified police at a checkpoint that they were in the trunk of his car.
Deputies assigned to Trump’s rally said the driver, Vem Miller, rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. on Saturday. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, Bianco said. He added that Miller’s car had a fake license plate and was unregistered.
Bianco told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller — who he said is a member of a right-leaning anti-government group — planned to kill Trump and that deputies thwarted the plan when Miller presented a fake VIP pass at a checkpoint. He said they also found he had multiple phony IDs.
“They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco said. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt.”
Miller, in an interview with Southern California News Group on Sunday, said he was “shocked” that he was arrested and accused of trying to harm Trump, who he supports.
“These accusations are complete bull—t,” Miller said. “I’m an artist, I’m the last person that would cause any violence and harm to anybody.”

A Trump caucus captain, Miller said he received a special invitation to the Coachella Valley rally from the head of Clark County’s Republican Party. Donning a Trump shirt and hat, the 49-year-old said he reached a checkpoint prior to entering the event parking lot and told a deputy he was lawfully carrying firearms in his trunk – as a courtesy.
He was asked to pull over and step out of the car before he was handcuffed and had his vehicle “ransacked” after a deputy said he wanted to retrieve the gun’s serial numbers to confirm they were lawfully purchased.
Miller said he bought the firearms in 2022 for protection after he started receiving death threats. He had never fired them and said he was unfamiliar with the difference between Nevada and California’s gun laws.
He also denied presenting a press pass at the checkpoint and said he only had a “special entry pass.”
Miller said he was never told why he was being apprehended. Roughly eight hours after being detained, he said he was finally given the opportunity to call a lawyer and recounted his experience on the phone in front of an FBI agent and member of the Secret Service, who were there to interview him. He was later told by deputies that interview had been called off.
Miller is a registered Republican who holds a master’s degree from UCLA, and who ran for state assembly in Nevada in 2022. He lost in the primary.
He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal at the time that he was running because “this country has been taken over by tyranny.” He said he supported more electric car manufacturing in Nevada and solar energy but also would want to focus on election security issues if he had been elected to office, including strengthening voter ID laws and implementing paper ballots again.
Miller also runs The America Happens Network, whose motto is “Rage against the mainstream media.”
On his LinkedIn, he wrote, “For 20 years +, I have been working in the media as an investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and a content producer … I have seen our rights be taken, while the power of big government grows. I have seen small businesses and the middle class be squashed. I have seen unlawful mandates and politicians acting like dictators. I have also seen how the power of the money flows through politics and a political class that no longer works for We The People.”
Bianco said Miller appeared to be a part of or have an affinity for so-called sovereign citizens, a group of people who do not believe they are subject to any government statutes unless they consent to them.
In his interview with a reporter, Miller flatly denied that.
Mindy Robinson, who described herself as Miller’s partner at America Happens, posted on X and Instagram on Sunday that the charges against Miller don’t make sense to her.
“There isn’t a universe his intention was to kill Trump,” Robinson wrote. “He’s worked too hard in this movement to expose the Deep State and all the people against him.”
She described Miller as a “good guy with a gun” and said it made sense to go armed in “unsafe” California.
Miller’s arrest was retaliation for America Happens’ recent coverage of an alleged government cover-up regarding the 2014 Bundy ranch standoff in Nevada, she said.
“I firmly believe this is 100% some kind of set-up in retribution for exposing it,” Robinson wrote on X.

But, he said, when he learned of the arrest, “My first thought we did everything right. It worked.”
At an afternoon news conference, Bianco said he didn’t care what Miller told a reporter, and that detaining and arresting him simply made for “common sense.”
“I knew that was going to happen. I couldn’t care less what political party he belongs to.” Bianco said. “Honestly, I think that’s the stupidest thing in the world that we have to label something and we’re labeling this as politics. He’s a lunatic.”

He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at the Indio Larson Justice Center on Jan. 2, 2025, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department inmate database.
Bianco said further charges – if any – would come from the federal government.
The Secret Service put out a brief statement saying it was aware of the arrest. “The incident did not impact protective operations. The Secret Service extends its gratitude to the deputies and local partners who assisted in safeguarding last night’s events,” the agency said.

I call BS. If you fear for your life, and buy guns, you learn how to use them. If you hold a Masters from UCLA, you lived in Cali, and know some of the laws. Ignorance is no excuse...he's not ignorant, though he may be an idiot.

We went yesterday and had a great time. We got there at 6am and we got seats in the 11 row straight in front of Trump. It was so hot but glad they had lots of water and ice. Food prices were outrageous. Now waiting for the buses we’re stupid crazy so we decided to walk back to the Red lot where we parked 4 miles away

I still have to question why anyone headed to a campaign rally, would elect to take weapons with them. This guy may have "exposed" something with Bundy Ranch, but that doesn't really mean he's a pro-Trump guy. Many, most of I believe, the Bundy protestors were the "Sovereign Citizen" types. Some of them are "fringe", to say the least...not exactly pro-government of any type.
