The incident highlights heightened security concerns at political events amidst increased political tension in the US.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s office continues to investigate Miller’s intentions and potential connections to the rally.
Miller remains in custody as authorities assess whether others were involved or if there’s a broader threat to public safety.
The rally proceeded without disruption following the arrest, thanks to the vigilance of Sheriff Bianco’s deputies.
