Militia groups including "Ghost Squad" and III%er groups gathered for a rally Saturday at the Augusta County Government Center in Verona, Virginia to protest Libre by Nexus, a local company that provides bail money and GPS monitoring to detained immigrants who are awaiting court. "This Rally is to bring awareness about a local company named Libre Nexus and what they have brought into my community and other communities around the country. This company provides GPS tracking devices to those in the USA illegally," the group's Facebook event said. "By doing, this the company is putting unsuspecting folks at risk in our peaceful community for a large profit." About a dozen militiamen arrived at the Government Center for the event. As the event was set to begin, a representative of Nexus arrived on location and officially served a defamation lawsuit to Penny Rutter, one of the event's organizers.

The signs were taken down as the activists arrived, and given to them as a gesture of good faith. Employees, including security, for Nexus met with the activists in a company board room. Zachary Cruz, the brother of Parkland school shooter Nicholas Cruz, sat in on the meeting. Zachary is out on a $500,000 bond secured by Nexus after being accused of trespassing on the Marjory Stoneman Douglass High school weeks after the shooting.  "I saw you saying you wanted to talk Larry, and when I saw that, I said 'well then why don't we do that?' That's why you're here," Donovan explained to the activist leaders. "The lawsuit that was served on you both was for s ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPx2tyqsPns
