Militia groups including "Ghost Squad" and III%er groups plan to hold 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 reads. "By doing, this the company is putting unsuspecting folks at risk in our peaceful community for a large profit."

Verona Sheriff Donald L. Smith met with leaders of the group Friday afternoon, who he told that he intends to protect their First and Second Amendment rights.

"You all may say something I don't agree with and you'll never know it. I'm not trying to infringe on anything," Sheriff Smith explained.

“Public safety to me is paramount. Keeping the people protected is paramount. Anything you ask us is not a problem,” said Gary Sigler, a member of the Maryland III% Peoples Militia who plans to provide armed security for the event.

Sheriff Smith expressed concerns about the presence of sticks, shields, or masks.

"That would not be our people," said Larry Lewis, the organizer of the event and leader of the Ghost Squad militia. "That'd be antifa."

Neither the Sheriff's Department or the activists are aware of any specific counter-demonstrations.
