Law enforcement officials have arrested the leader of the “Ziz” transgender “terror cult” and Michelle Zajko, a member of the terror cult who has been the target of a police manhunt since a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed during a January 20 traffic stop in Vermont.
According to The Post Millennial, the terror cult leader, who has been identified as Jack “Andrea” LaSota, and 32-year-old Zajko were arrested in Allegany County, Maryland, on Sunday.
The Baltimore Banner reported that court records indicate that the two members of the Ziz terror cell, also known as the “Zizians,” were taken into custody at the Allegany County jail due to firearm and trespassing offenses, as well as charges of obstructing or hindering authorities.
Asked about the arrest of LaSota and Zajko on Monday, Maryland State Police Lt. Jeremy Stonebraker said, “The investigators that are working on the case aren’t going to do any press releases at this time because the investigation is kind of fluid and ongoing and the FBI is involved now.”

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Post Millennial editor Andy Ngo shared a video confirming that law enforcement had arrested LaSota and Zajko, whom he described as “one of the other dangerous, wanted members” of the transgender group.” Ngo also shared pictures of LaSota and Zajko.
“THEY GOT ‘EM!” Ngo wrote. “The two wanted members of the Trantifa terror cult who have been on the run have been arrested.”
According to The Post Millennial, Zajko, who was previously identified by Ngo as “trans nonbinary,” has been accused of supplying weapons to Teresa Youngblut and Felix Bauckholt, two other transgender individuals who are believed to have been involved in the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David “Chris” Maland on January 20.
Court documents obtained by The Times Union show that law enforcement officials discovered a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun and a .380-caliber handgun at the scene of the fatal shooting of the Border Patrol agent in Vermont and that both of the weapons were purchased last February by Zajko.
In addition to Zajko’s alleged connection to the murder of the Border Patrol agent, The Post Millennial reported that Zajko is wanted by law enforcement officials for the murders of Zajko’s parents, Richard and Rita Zajko, in 2023. The outlet noted that Zajko has also been listed as a “person of interest” in the murder of a landlord in Vallejo, California.
