According to Justice Department documents, Baker had trained in Syria in 2017 with the YPG, and in 2020 participated in the CHAZ insurrection in Seattle — and was once even featured on VICE.
From The Tallahassee Democrat:
Daniel Alan Baker, 33, was arrested Friday on a federal
charge involving transmission of a threat to kidnap or injure, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida announced in a news release.
Baker Prosecutors say Baker, a former airborne infantryman with reported ties to a foreign terrorist group, planned to violently confront protesters at the Capitol on Sunday, the same day the FBI warned of violence at all 50 state capitols.
“Baker issued a call to arms for like-minded individuals to violently confront protesters gathered at the Florida Capitol this Sunday,” federal prosecutors said. “He specifically called for others to join him in encircling any protesters and confining them at the Capitol complex using firearms.”
“Evidence shows that through various methods of interstate communications, Baker threatened to kidnap and injure others, and he recently issued a ‘call to arms’,” said U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida Lawrence Keefe in a statement." NW
Mike Dunn is the leader of the “Boogaloo Bois,” an anti-government, anti-Trump group whose adherents call for a revolution toppling the federal government.
Dunn boasted on social media about his team being locked and loaded inside the Capitol during the riot.

“It’s to revel in the breach of security while mocking the defenses
that protect tyrants…whether that be Trump or others,” he wrote. Not only involved in the US Capitol assault, but an archived Parler post shows Dunn issued a statement on behalf of Boogaloo Bois claiming credit for the breach.After Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed in the Capitol, Dunn argued “feds drew first blood years ago” and are “fair game now.”
While establishment Republicans and Democrats and the mainstream media continue to blame Trump and his supporters for violent riots at the Capitol, they entirely ignored a Jan. 8 Reuters interview where he admitted “three or four groups of loyalists under his command helped storm the Capitol” and “embraced the moment to strike against the government.” OneHundredPercent
