A wooden guillotine was found near the US Capitol building in Washington DC, leading to the arrest of 35-year-old Phill-Tam-Duei Le on charges of possession of a dangerous weapon. Le drove a truck carrying the guillotine from California to Washington DC, and his brother described it as a 'symbol of discontent' expressing dissatisfaction with the US political situation. Le was known to criticize both parties and reportedly disliked Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, and former President Donald Trump. This incident is seen as an example of the increasing trend of violence threats against members of Congress and government officials in the United States recently.
