SHOCKING Cult Violence Rocks Three States…

Federal prosecutors are pursuing the death penalty against a radical cult member who murdered a U.S. Border Patrol agent, marking a decisive stand against domestic terrorism under the Trump administration.

Radical Cult Behind Border Agent’s Murder

Teresa Youngblut murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland during a January 20, 2025 traffic stop in Coventry, Vermont. The 21-year-old Washington state resident belongs to the violent “Zizian” collective, a radical group that combines extremist veganism, transgender ideology, and artificial intelligence beliefs. This dangerous fusion of woke politics and anti-government sentiment has escalated into deadly violence against innocent Americans and law enforcement officers.

The Zizians operate under the leadership of Jack LaSota, also known as “Ziz,” a transgender computer scientist who recruited young tech professionals through online forums. LaSota’s anarchist rhetoric and anti-establishment ideology attracted disillusioned individuals who transformed radical beliefs into murderous actions. This case demonstrates how extremist identity politics can radicalize educated Americans into domestic terrorists willing to kill for their twisted worldview.

Multi-State Killing Spree Reveals Organized Violence

Federal investigators have connected the Zizians to six killings across Vermont, Pennsylvania, and California spanning multiple years. The group’s violence began in 2022 with a California landlord attack that resulted in a member’s death. Between 2023 and 2024, cult members murdered a Pennsylvania couple and killed another California landlord, establishing a pattern of targeting property owners and authority figures.

Maximilian Snyder faces charges for the California landlord’s murder, while Michelle Zajko was arrested for providing weapons to Youngblut. These coordinated attacks across state lines demonstrate the Zizians operate as an organized domestic terror network, not isolated individuals. Their ability to plan and execute multi-state violence while evading detection highlights the serious threat posed by tech-savvy extremists who weaponize online platforms for recruitment and coordination.

Trump Administration Takes Hard Line Against Domestic Terror

Attorney General Pamela Bondi authorized the death penalty pursuit on August 14, 2025, sending a clear message that the Trump administration will not tolerate attacks on law enforcement. The Department of Justice’s decisive action contrasts sharply with the previous administration’s soft approach to radical leftist violence. Federal prosecutors are treating this case as domestic terrorism, recognizing that ideologically motivated killings threaten public safety and constitutional order.

The federal death penalty designation serves multiple purposes beyond justice for Agent Maland’s family. It demonstrates that radical identity politics combined with anti-government extremism will face severe consequences under conservative leadership. This case also establishes important precedent for prosecuting tech-enabled domestic terror networks that exploit online anonymity to recruit members and coordinate violence across state lines.
