#StewartRhodes was serving his time in prison when his sentence was commuted by #Trump in Jan 2025. It was one of the first actions taken by Trump when he resumed office.
Federal District Judge Amit Mehta ruled in Jan 2025 that Rhodes & other members of the #OathKeepers needed to seek #court permission to travel to #DC or be on Capitol Grounds.
According to the ADL, the Oath Keepers is an anti-government #extremist org within the #militia movement.
