Man Arrested at Trump Rally Files Lawsuit

Vem Miller, who was arrested with loaded guns near a Trump rally in Coachella, has filed a federal lawsuit against Riverside County and Sheriff Chad Bianco, alleging they violated his constitutional rights and misrepresented his actions to gain notoriety. Miller claims he informed deputies about his firearms and insists he had a special entry pass from the Republican Party, disputing allegations of counterfeit credentials. The sheriff's office reported finding a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and fake identification in Miller's vehicle, with Bianco asserting they likely prevented an assassination attempt. Miller maintains that he is a supporter of Trump and has faced death threats for his political activities, denying any intention to harm the former president. He accuses Bianco of using the incident to enhance his political profile, as the sheriff has aspirations for higher office. Miller's court appearance is scheduled for January 2, following his release on bail after the arrest.
