The leader of a cult whose members shot and killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent David ‘Chris’ Maland on January 21, accused the U.S. government of ‘trans genocide’ during a federal court appearance Monday, reporter Andy Ngo wrote November 24 in his ‘Ngo Comment’ blog.
Jack “Ziz” LaSota, the self-described leader of the fringe “Zizian” group connected to the death of Maland and others, was in a federal court in Baltimore being arraigned as a fugitive in possession of firearms and ammunition, according to reporting by Andy Ngo for Ngo Comment.

LaSota refused to stand for the judge and claimed the U.S. government was carrying out “trans genocide” and “disappearing” people of color.
LaSota mocked Judge Douglas Miller, called the court part of an “organized crime ring,” and gave false answers about his name and age. His lawyer had chided authorities for using male pronouns and “deadnaming” LaSota in court documents.

Theresa Youngblut of Seattle, Washington, is being prosecuted for murdering Maland during a Northeast Kingdom traffic stop. She has not been disruptive in her Burlington court appearances. Another cult member, Felix Bauckholt of Germany, was shot and killed in the incident before he could shoot his firearm.
