FBI investigates ties between radical group and border agent's death in Vermont

The recent killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in Vermont is linked to a group called the "Zizians," described as a radical, vegan, and transgender cult. The group is centered around a figure named Ziz, also known as Jack LaSota. Felix "Ophelia" Baukholt, a member of the Zizians, was involved in the shootout that led to Maland's death. The firearms used in the incident are connected to a person of interest in other murders, raising concerns about the group's violent activities. The FBI is investigating the Zizians, noting their associations with violent acts across multiple states. The group has a history of erratic behavior and protests, and some members have previously faked their deaths.
