Federal authorities have arrested two men in California who allegedly wanted to start a movement to overthrow the government and discussed blowing up the Democratic headquarters in Sacramento because of the 2020 election, according to a Justice Department press release.
The Justice Department apprehended one of the men who had amassed a large arsenal before the presidential inauguration on January 20 -- which prosecutors believe was to be a key date in the planning of the attack. Ian Benjamin Rogers, 45, of Napa, was arrested in mid-January, and Jarrod Copeland, 37, of Vallejo, was arrested this week, the Justice Department said. Both men have yet to be arraigned. Rogers' attorney declined to comment, and it was not immediately clear if Copeland had a lawyer.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
