Man With Loaded Gun and Fake Documents Arrested Near Trump Rally This Weekend – Released – Guy D. McCardle
In a scene that sounds more like a political thriller than reality, Vem Miller, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was arrested near the site of a Donald Trump rally in Coachella Valley, California, over the weekend. Authorities found multiple firearms in his vehicle, including a loaded handgun, a shotgun, and a high-capacity magazine.
To add to the intrigue, Miller, who was stopped at a security checkpoint about half a mile from the rally entrance, was also found to have inconsistent identification documents, including several driver’s licenses and passports under different names. His black SUV had a fake license plate, which raised further suspicion among deputies.
Miller has denied any allegations of wrongdoing or intent to harm Trump, asserting that he is a longtime supporter of the former president and was attending the rally with a legitimate invitation. He claimed his press passes were genuine and that he had ties to the Trump family, citing previous interactions with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump at other events. The man allegedly has a built a reputation for feeding conservative conspiracy theories. Has he taken his strange obsession one step too far?
Despite his arrest and the firearms in his possession, Miller was released on bail and is set to appear in court in January 2025. When I first heard this fact, I was floored. Trump has recently had two very real attempts against his life. One would think that anyone approaching a Trump rally with loaded guns and faked documents would be thrown into a cold, dark cell with the key never to be seen again. Not Miller; he was out the next day.
Law enforcement, particularly Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, described the incident as potentially thwarting a third assassination attempt against Trump. He referred to Miller as a “lunatic”. However, Miller and those close to him have vehemently denied any such motive, emphasizing his allegiance to Trump and his role as a media figure and investigative journalist.

Miller’s history reveals his involvement in conservative media circles, having founded the America Happens Network, where he produces content and podcasts on right-wing topics. His social media presence shows connections to several prominent conservative figures.
Conservative activist Mindy Robinson, who claims to know Miller, criticized the police response as “hysterical”. She says that Miller is a known Trump supporter and posed no threat to anyone.

According to the New York Post, “No federal charges have been filed, and neither the FBI nor Secret Service believe it was a planned assassination attempt”.
This arrest adds to a growing list of security concerns surrounding Trump’s public appearances as the former president continues to attract intense political attention. According to official statements, this incident did not affect the safety of former President Trump or the rally attendees.
Twenty-two days remain until the next US presidential election. Hold on to your hats because, at this point, anything is possible.
