August 11, 20224 yr Trump is inciting this. Armed man approaches FBI office, exchanges gunfire with cops CINCINNATI (AP) — An armed man decked out in body armor tried to breach a security screening area at an FBI field office in Ohio on Thursday, then fled and exchanged gunfire in a standoff with law enforcement, authorities said. The confrontation at the FBI's Cincinnati field office comes as officials warn of an increase in threats against federal agents in the days following a search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Federal officials said the man had "attempted to breach” the visitor's screening area at the FBI office and fled when he was confronted by agents. He was chased onto Interstate 71 and has exchanged gunfire with police, according to the Clinton County Emergency Management Agency. Authorities have closed the interstate in both directions as police remained in a standoff. No injuries were immediately reported. Officials in Ohio have locked down a mile radius near the interstate and urged residents and business owners to lock doors and stay inside. An FBI evidence team has arrived at the office to investigate, according to multiple media reports. There have been growing threats in recent days against FBI agents and offices across the country since federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. On Gab, a social media site popular with white supremacists and antisemites, users have warned they are preparing for an armed revolution. Federal officials have also been tracking an array of other concerning chatter on Gab and other platforms threatening violence against federal agents. FBI Director Christopher Wray denounced the threats as he visited another FBI office in Nebraska on Wednesday. "Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with,” Wray said Wednesday in Omaha. The FBI on Wednesday also warned its agents to avoid protesters and ensure their security key cards are "not visible outside FBI space,” citing an increase in social media threats to bureau personnel and facilities. It also warned agents to be aware of their surroundings and potential protesters. The warning did not specifically mention this week’s search of Mar-a-Lago but attributed the online threats to "recent media reporting on FBI investigative activity.”

August 11, 20224 yr People focus on the Second Amendment while ignoring Congress's Article One powers to organize and train the militia, and call forth the militia,” she said. In other words, a private militia that deploys itself, without the permission of the state or federal government, is illegal. https://www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/our-press-releases/fact-sheets-on-unlawful-militias-for-all-50-states-now-available-from-georgetown-laws-institute-for-constitutional-advocacy-and-protection/ WASHINGTON, September 22, 2020 — In anticipation of possible unlawful militias intimidating voters at the polls, Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) has released fact sheets on unlawful militias for all 50 states. The fact sheets provide key information about lawful and unlawful militias, state laws prohibiting private militias and paramilitary activity, and what to do if citizens see groups of armed individuals near polling places. "Local officials, law enforcement, and voters need to know that groups of armed individuals have no legal authority under federal or state law to show up at voting locations claiming to protect or patrol the polls,” said Mary McCord, Legal Director of ICAP and a former Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Department of Justice. "Given the increasing self-deployment of private unlawful militias during protests against racial injustice across the country, intimidating peaceful protesters and heightening the risk of violence—sometimes with tragic results—communities must prepare for similar unlawful private militia activity and intimidation in connection with the election.” As the fact sheets explain, the U.S. Constitution and state laws use the term "militia” to refer to all able-bodied residents between certain ages who may be called forth by the government when there is a specific need; but private individuals have no legal authority to activate themselves for militia duty outside the authority of the federal or state government. The fact sheets also explain that the Second Amendment does not protect private militia activity, pointing to decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1886 and 2008 making clear that the Second Amendment "does not prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations.” All 50 states prohibit private, unauthorized groups from engaging in activities reserved for the state militia, including law enforcement activities. The fact sheets include these state-specific laws. They also include guidance for what individuals can do if they see what appear to be militia members near a polling place, and direct that they report their observations to the Election Protection helpline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683), with which ICAP is coordinating its efforts. The fact sheets were produced with the pro bono assistance of the law firms Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Jones Day, and O’Melveny and Myers. These firms are part of a coalition of lawyers and law firms that have offered to work pro bono with communities facing threats of political violence at protests, rallies, and other public events. ICAP recently published a guidebook, Protests and Public Safety: A Guide for Cities and Citizens, as a resource for local jurisdictions, concerned residents, and activists across the country to protect public safety while fostering constitutional rights.
