Last week US Border Patrol Agent David Maland, a Minnesota native, was shot and killed while conducting an investigative traffic stop in Vermont. It marked the first time in ten years that a Border Patrol agent had been killed in the line of duty.
Two suspects occupied the car Maland had pulled over and both were shot after the driver opened fire on Agent Maland without warning. This week following the release of several court documents and the impressive reporting by Post Millennial, a troubling story involving trans terrorism is slowly emerging.
In mid-January, law enforcement had been alerted by staff at a Vermont motel about a couple there that had been observed wearing black tactical gear and possessing weapons. Law enforcement, including the US Border Patrol began conducting surveillance of the couple who were later identified as Teresa “Milo” Youngblut, 21, of Seatle Washington, and Felix “Ophelia” Baukholt, mid 20’s, of Germany. Youngblut is a biological female who identifies at trans and uses the pronouns xe/xem/xyrs, and Baukholt is a biological male who identifies as trans and uses female pronouns.
During surveillance, Youngblut and Baukholt abruptly checked out the motel and were driving away in a Toyota Prius. It was believed that Baukholt had an expired visa, which led law enforcement to pull the couple over to investigate. While Agent Maland was at the driver’s window, Youngblut shot him with a handgun without warning. Agents saw Baukholt produce a pistol as well and returned fire at both Youngblut, the driver, and Baukholt the front seat passenger. Baukholt was killed and Youngblut was injured and taken into custody.
A search of their car revealed: “two pistols, ammunition clips, night-vision goggles, two full-face respirators, a ballistic helmet, 48 rounds of hollow point ammunition, shooting range targets, interstate lodging information, two-way radios and a dozen electronic devices, some of which were wrapped in foil.”
A federal criminal complaint filed under seal last week identified Youngblut as the shooter of Agent Maland and charged her with applicable federal offenses. A grand jury indictment will come soon.
Yesterday in a detention hearing the US Attorney revealed that the guns possessed by Baukholt and Youngblut had been purchased by a person of interest in a double homicide in Pennsylvania, and that all three individuals were associated with a California based violent trans commune group called the Ziz group. Ziz members are under investigation for several murders and attempted murders.
The Post Millennial reporting indicated that Youngblut had become estranged from her family in Seattle in May of 2024. She then applied for a marriage license with a man named Maximilian Snyder who was subsequently arrested “for the murder of a trial witness and attempted murder survivor set to testify against members of the ‘Ziz’ group.”
This case appears to be blowing the lid off the radical and violent trans movement which has falsely determined that their survival is under attack and that violence is justified as a result.
Militant demands and violence will only serve to further distance the trans community from mainstream acceptance.
