The Guardian • 12/17/2025
Summary
Micah James Legnon, a 28-year-old ex-US marine, was arrested while traveling to New Orleans with firearms and body armor, as federal authorities had been monitoring him due to his connections to an extremist anti-capitalist and anti-government group, according to court documents cited by the Associated Press. This arrest followed the apprehension of four group members in California who were allegedly rehearsing a separate plot to detonate bombs on New Year's Eve.
