This is a local Denver firefighter, who opposes the war and who has made remarks regarding opposition to illegal immigration.
Apparently, a federal task force has labeled him a domestic terrorist. The original charges were for weapons violation, for selling fully automatic machine guns to an undercover FBI agent.
The "domestic terrorist" label seems to have been added based on his stated opposition to the war and his remarks about illegal immigrants. He's also accused of having ties to "an unknown domestic terrorist organization".
Stan Ford was arrested for alleged illegal gun sales. But the firefighter argues he's not a domestic terrorist, as a federal task force has claimed.

In an hour-long interview, Ford, a suspended Denver firefighter, spoke about what he says are outrageous allegations that he has sympathies with hate groups or others who would overthrow the government of the United States.
"This kind of insanity wouldn't have happened if 9/11 didn't happen," he said. "I think this is a sign of things to come."

"If I don't believe in the war, does that make me an anti-U.S. person?" he asked. "I love my country. We are the greatest country in the world."

In hearings, prosecutors have introduced transcripts of recorded conversations in which Ford talked about illegal immigration. In an interview Friday, Ford said he has been allowed to see only a portion of the transcript so he can't be sure of the context. But he said he thinks he was talking about the illegal immigrant who is alleged to have shot and killed Denver police Detective Donnie Young in May 2005.
