Part 6/10:
On the domestic front, federal law enforcement authorities thwarted an assassination plot against law enforcement and officials during last week's anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. A man from Texas, 48-year-old Zagor Vandenberg, was arrested after attempting to purchase large quantities of explosives and fireworks with the intent to attack officers enforcing immigration laws.
Vandenberg’s detailed plans revealed alarming intentions: he sought to use devices like mortar explosives to target law enforcement personnel. He visited a store in New Mexico, where he requested assistance in choosing weapons designed to be thrown directly at people to cause harm. He claimed previous military experience and knowledge of bomb-making, indicating potential for serious violence.
