BURLINGTON, Vt. — The FBI says an arrest has been made in connection to the fatal shooting death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was from Minnesota.
On Friday, FBI Albany announced a 21-year-old woman from Washington state, Teresa Youngblut, was arrested in David "Chris" Maland's death in Vermont.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Vermont has since charged Youngblut with assault on a federal law enforcement officer.
"Our hearts remain with our partners at U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector as they mourn this tremendous loss," the FBI said.
Maland, who was born in Blue Earth, Minnesota, was killed Monday afternoon following a traffic stop, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said in a statement.
According to court documents, Youngblut was driving a vehicle with a German national as the passenger when the U.S. Border Patrol stopped them for an immigration inspection. The citizen of Germany, identified as Felix Baukholt, appeared to have an expired visa in a Department of Homeland Security database.
Shortly after, gunshots were reported at the scene. In a subsequent interview, Border Patrol agents reported that both Youngblut and Baukholt had firearms, court documents said. Youngblut allegedly drew and fired a handgun toward at least one of the agents without warning from the driver's side of the vehicle. Baukholt attempted to draw a firearm.
At least one of the Border Patrol agents fired their service weapon at Youngblut and Baukholt.
Maland, Youngblut and Baukholt were all shot in the exchange of gunfire. Baukholt died at the scene. Maland was pronounced dead at an area hospital. Youngbult is continuing to receive care for her wounds.
According to the complaint, in searches of the vehicle after the shooting, authorities found two guns and additional ammunition, along with "tactical gear" — a ballistic helmet, a night-vision monocular and a tactical belt with a holster. The search also yielded shooting range targets — some of them used — and two-way radios.
Authorities had been surveilling Youngblut and Baukholt for nearly a week prior to the shooting, the complaint states, and saw them wearing tactical gear in public on multiple occasions. On Jan. 14, a hotel employee in Vermont called law enforcement to report concerns about a couple "dressed in all-black tactical style clothing with protective equipment," the complaint said. The employee said the woman — later identified as Youngblut — was carrying a gun in a holster. Investigators tried to talk to Youngblut and Baukholt after that, but they declined and told authorities they were in the area to look at property to buy.

There is so much more to this story.
This piece of human excrement is supposedly from Washington State.
They were Antifa all the way. Take a look at the gear found in the car with them. Pretend revolutionaries. The Revolution is over for this bish.
It will be a great day when PDJT declares Anti-fay a terrorist organization and the military wipes them all off the map for good. Buckle up, Portland - you’ll be ground zero for the effort.
Eerily similar to the Fritz Klenner case sans kids and bombs
Antifa trying to get back to Germany.
It began in Germany then setup operations is Seattle-Portland
Red Army Faction
Where did they get the weapons?
What is the record of where the handguns came from?
Non US citizens can not legally buy firearms in the USA.
So, who sold them the guns?
Were they stolen?
Did they have known associates?
Cell phones?
Roundup of info from various sources:

Footnote on Bauckholt’s employment history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_Trading
“On March 27, 2023, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a lawsuit against Binance and Changpeng Zhao in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, claiming willful evasion of US law and allegedly breaching derivatives rules. In the lawsuit, three unidentified trading firms were cited as “VIP” clients of Binance although they were not accused of wrongdoing. Radix Trading self-identified that it was ‘Trading Firm A’ through an article in The Wall Street Journal.[5] The others were later identified as Jane Street Capital and Tower Research Capital.[6] According to the CFTC, Binance instructed Radix Trading to access its website through a virtual private network. Blander told The Wall Street Journal, that while Radix Trading traded on Binance for several years via offshore affiliates and a prime brokerage, he believed it had not done anything wrong. This was because anything related to cryptocurrency connectivity was legally vetted beforehand. He also stated the firm was cooperating with the CFTC regarding its investigation.[1][7][5][6]”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Research_Capital
In 2014 Tower Research’s wholly-owned subsidiary Latour Trading, which sometimes accounted for 9% of U.S. stock trading, was fined a record $16 million for violating the net capital rule. Latour deliberately mis-estimated its exposure to risk and traded despite not holding enough capital.[4]
In 2019 Tower Research was fined $67.4 million for manipulating the markets in E-mini financial futures contracts by spoofing. Tower traders placed thousands of orders for futures contracts that it never intended to execute.[5] Three traders were criminally charged and two pled guilty in the case.[6][7] Tower subsequently settled a class-action lawsuit for $15 million.[8]
In 2021 a suit alleging spoofing by Tower Research brought by Korean investors was decided in favor of Tower when the court ruled that trading on the Korean exchange was not subject to the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act.[9]
Exactly what I was thinking, Baader–Meinhof Gang.
From an NBC article. More details:
Homeland Security Investigations agents had been performing “periodic surveillance” of Buckhault and Youngblut since Jan. 14, according to the documents.
An employee of a hotel in Lyndonville, Vermont, had contacted law enforcement to report concerns about a man and a woman who had checked into the hotel, the documents say. The woman, later identified to be Youngblut, was seen carrying “an apparent firearm in an exposed carry holster.” Both Bauckholt and Youngblut were wearing “all-black, tactical style clothing with protective equipment.”
After getting the report from the hotel employee, Homeland Security agents attempted to speak with the pair. They refused to have an extended conversation, claiming that they were in the area looking to buy real estate, according to the court documents.
Youngblut and Bauckholt then checked out of the hotel and were seen walking in downtown Newport five days later, with Youngblut carrying a handgun, the court documents say.
The following day, hours before the fatal traffic stop, the pair stopped at a Walmart, where Bauckholt purchased two boxes of aluminum foil. The court documents say investigators found at the shooting scene suspected cellphones wrapped in what appeared to be aluminum foil, an apparent attempt to prevent the phones from being tracked.
In addition to the ammunition, helmet and night vision monocular, investigators searching the suspects’ Prius found a tactical belt with a holster, a pair of handheld two-way radios, a magazine loaded with cartridges and a package of shooting range targets, some of which had been used, according to the court documents.
Youngblut is facing two charges in connection with the incident, including intentional use of a deadly weapon while interfering with federal law enforcement. Her lawyer declined to comment.
