Ahead of Trump’s SoCal visit, heavily armed Downey man arrested at Trump Golf Course

An armed man, said to be monitoring “security-planning activities,” was arrested Sunday with a cache of weapons and body armor outside Trump National Golf Course — just two days before the president’s visit.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, California, was taken into custody outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by plainclothes FBI agents after they spotted his suspicious activity.

They found him with an illegally modified AR platform rifle, two radio signal devices, a 1911 .45 caliber pistol, an AR platform upper receiver, body armor, high-capacity magazines, bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, and multiple notebooks containing concerning statements.

Lomita Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the golf course at approximately 3:28 p.m. on August 2, 2026, after plainclothes federal agents spotted a suspicious individual walking the grounds, taking photos and videos, and monitoring security-planning activities.

Deputies made contact with Taele and learned he was actively under investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department. During a pat-down, deputies recovered a 16-round magazine containing hollow-point ammunition from Taele’s pants pocket.

supposedly this individual had ‘disturbing material’ when authorities executed a search warrant of his home.

Also, more firearms as well as hollow point ammo were recovered at the home.

Nice of the authorities to let us know TWO DAYS after the fact. Any juicy information we could’ve gotten from social media has already been wiped….

Music duo The Carpenters lived in Downey. Wikipedia says Downey now labelled the Mexican Beverly Hills.

A screwed up Trantifa hitman.
The islamocommie party and their psycho foot soldiers(Antifa, Trantifa, BLM, CCP operatives, Iranian operatives)want Trump ☠️ DEAD. They’re foaming at the mouth to kill Trump.
“On Monday, sheriff’s detectives and FBI agents searched Mr Taele’s home in Downey, where they recovered what authorities described as an illegally modified AR-platform rifle, a .45-calibre pistol, body armour, high-capacity magazines, bulk pistol ammunition, two radio signal devices and multiple notebooks containing what investigators called “concerning statements”.
Officials said the investigation remains ongoing but added that they had identified “no credible threat to our communities.”
How do they know he’s no threat to the community if he’s been arrested before?
He’s probably an arsonist too.
The islamocommie party leads a bunch of brainwashed, psychopathic pawns.

two weeks ago we moved from Oakland to Rancho Palos Verdes. Trump Country Club is just down the hill from here. There are protesters spilling out onto the roadway.
