- Five reporters and two invited military personnel were briefly detained at gunpoint at Vandenberg Space Force Base after security mistakenly thought they were gate‑crashers.
- The group was in an escorted convoy to an invitation‑only groundbreaking when officers drew guns, handcuffed two service members, and held civilians on a curb for more than 30 minutes.
- All were released without charges; the base has ordered a full review of media coordination and reporters plan to meet with leadership.
