Johnson County Suspects

A group of young men in their twenties reside in a Johnson County, Iowa house surrounded by sheriff's deputies after stockpiling pseudoephedrine from multiple stores to produce methamphetamine. Armed occupants fire on law enforcement, escalating the standoff. Special Agent Casper links the house to the Patriot Brotherhood militia and potentially the KSU bombing, prompting President Bartlet to seize direct command and halt any entry without his order. Their actions fuse narcotics production with suspected domestic terrorism, thrusting the incident into White House crisis management.
