A Virginia man making headlines for his arrest after he brought an unregistered firearm to an inauguration checkpoint in the days leading up to the ceremony was caught as the victim of a bureaucratic mix-up.

Wesley Allen Beeler, 31, was taken into custody after driving his Ford F-150 to an inauguration checkpoint located on the northeast end of the Capitol where officers stopped Beeler to check his credentials. According to the Washington Post, Beeler was credentialed by MVP Protective Services, a private security firm contracted to support law enforcement operations surrounding this week’s inauguration.

Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig wrote on Twitter that Beeler, who held no extremist ties and fully cooperated with police, possessed the proper Park Pass but that the bureaucrats who issued the credential failed to adequately communicate to Secret Service and other agencies. Beeler’s employer, MVP Protective Services, did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s inquiries surrounding details of his credential.

“I showed them the inauguration badge that was given to me,” Beeler told the Post, while officers questioned whether he had any firearms in the vehicle. Beeler told the checkpoint officers he had a Glock in the armrest, prompting officials to search the car and pull out the firearm, which was found with 500 rounds of ammunition and about two dozen shotgun shells “located in plain sight,” according to court documents reviewed by the Post.

Beeler, a longtime security contractor, said he entered the checkpoint by mistake, unfamiliar with the locked-down area, which is surrounded by upwards of 25,000 troops ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s swearing-in.

“It was an honest mistake,” Beeler told the Post, adding that he forgot he had the firearm that he’s licensed to carry in Virginia in the car when he left for the District. Beeler told the paper he only realized he still had the gun with him halfway through the trip and was already running late, so he opted not to turn back.

“I pulled up to a checkpoint after getting lost in D.C. because I’m a country boy,” Beeler told the paper.

The episode, however, fed the hysteria surrounding the media-manufactured possibility of a mass uprising this week after a horde of Trump supporters sacked the Capitol building earlier this month.

CNN’s Jim Sciutto tweeted about Beeler’s arrest Saturday, manipulating the story to fuel the insurrectionist narrative taking over Washington.

“New: US Capitol Police arrested a Virginia man as he attempted to pass through a police checkpoint in downtown Washington Friday with fake inaugural credentials, a loaded handgun & over 500 rounds of ammunition, CNN reporting,” Sciutto wrote, omitting that the Virginia man was a credentialed employee, whose valid credentials had been declined upon entry at that particular checkpoint, who had no extremists ties and cooperated entirely with law enforcement.

As President-elect Joe Biden’s administration prepares to offer amnesty to approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States as soon as he takes office, a caravan of thousands of migrants from Honduras is making its way across Central America to the southern U.S. border.

Fleeing Honduras after being plagued by hurricanes, drought, and financial instability, approximately 9,000 of these migrants are en route to the United States hoping for a better life. This weekend, more than 2,000 of the people in the caravan clashed with Guatemalan law enforcement at the northwest Honduras border, bypassing the documentation checks and COVID-19 screening requirements to continue traveling through the country.

That part of the caravan is now marching on and is estimated to arrive in mere weeks at the U.S. border, where it will be met by an open-border-friendly Biden administration.

In addition to promising rollbacks of the Trump administration’s asylum eligibility and border-security measures, Biden has also pledged to introduce a bill during his first few days in office to ensure citizenship status for the millions of those who currently maintain temporary protected status, are part of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or are even “front-line essential workers.” With Biden in office, detention and deportation are quickly falling to the bottom of the border-security priority list.

These changes, Biden and his incoming chief of staff Ron Klain say, will “restore humanity to our immigration system” and bring out the values of the U.S. immigration process.

Despite the Biden administration’s hope that its immigration agenda will be the reform the United States and illegal immigrants need, senior Biden officials are beginning to worry that those who are part of the large influx at the southern border “will not find when they get to the U.S. border that from Tuesday to Wednesday, things have changed overnight and ports are all open and they can come into the United States.”

“There’s help on the way, but now is not the time to make the journey,” one official told NBC News.

While the official promised that the Biden team wants to “provide a message that help and hope is on the way,” the official warned the caravan not to come to the U.S. right now. “Coming right now does not make sense for their own safety … while we put into place processes that they may be able to access in the future,” the official said.

As of right now, the transition team has no plans to expand or amp up border security and immigration enforcement.
