The FBI announced the arrest of a suspect Friday in the killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David "Chris" Maland near the Vermont-Canada border.
Washington state resident Teresa Youngblut, 21, was taken into custody following the fatal shooting on Monday, according to the FBI’s office in Albany, N.Y.
"The United States Attorney’s Office District of Vermont has charged Youngblut with assault on a federal law enforcement officer," it said. "Our hearts remain with our partners at U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector as they mourn this tremendous loss."

Exactly.
No death penelty in Vermont I would figure.
“According to the FBI affidavit, Youngblut and Baukholt had been under surveillance by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) since January 14. A hotel clerk in Lyndonville had reported concerns after the suspects checked in wearing tactical gear, with Youngblut openly carrying a firearm”
“Investigators tracked their movements, including surveillance at a Walmart in Newport on January 20, where Baukholt was observed purchasing aluminum foil and wrapping unknown objects inside the vehicle.
“Youngblut and Baukholt were seen walking in downtown Newport on January 19 in similar tactical attire, and both were reported to be armed. Despite multiple attempts by federal agents to engage them in conversation, the suspects refused to cooperate.
“Following the shooting, a court-ordered search of the Prius uncovered a significant cache of tactical gear and weaponry...”
I wonder what these two knuckleheads were up to.
Federal
Check this out:
“The FBI confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations had been conducting an inquiry into the suspects and a potential third accomplice in the days leading up to the shooting.
“However, it remains unclear whether Border Patrol agents had been fully briefed on the nature of the investigation before they conducted the traffic stop, a tactic known as a “***Whisper Stop***,” in which officers are not given full details of an ongoing investigation.”
Have anyone here ever heard of such a thing?
It’s a Federal Crime. There is a death penalty.
“No death penelty in Vermont I would figure.”
Doesn’t matter. She killed a Federal officer.

Red Army Faction?...lso known as the Baader–Meinhof Group or Baader–Meinhof Gang............
Yep.
The FBI was dragging their feet days after they had determined that they were a threat. Maybe they were hoping these people were coming to America to assassinate Trump so they just let them travel around with a cache of weapons.
Regardless, their inaction led to the death of the Border Patrol officer. He was just doing his job while the FBI sat on their hands.
Wulfgar!
There’s chatter on X that “Theresa” is trans.
That could be it. Or Aunt Teefus wannabes.
I love that X chatter
