The Latest: A cult-like group known as the Zizians, under the leadership of Jack 'Ziz' LaSota, is linked to six deaths in Vermont, Pennsylvania, and California. This includes the recent fatal shooting of a Border Patrol agent. Four members are in custody while three, including LaSota, are still at large.
Why It Matters: The group, made up of highly educated tech professionals who previously worked at NASA and Google, has displayed increasing violent tendencies. With their actions extending across several states, there are significant public safety apprehensions, especially given that some members are still on the loose and deemed dangerous.
