On Saturday, a man was taken into custody near a Donald Trump campaign rally in California. Authorities found him with a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, which are all illegal in the state. The man, identified as Vem Miller, was able to get through the first security perimeter but was stopped at the second one. His car had a fake license plate and was filled with multiple driver’s licenses and passports under different names. Miller claimed to be a journalist to gain entry to the rally.

The Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Justice confirmed that former President Trump was not in any danger. Miller was released on $5,000 bail and is expected to appear in court on January 2. He denied any intentions to harm Trump, stating that he supports him. Law enforcement agencies are continuing their investigation into the incident.

This situation raises questions about security measures at political events and the motives behind Miller's actions. It’s crucial to understand why he had multiple IDs and weapons, even if he claims to be a supporter. The event highlights the importance of thorough security checks at such gatherings.
