The Justice Department has filed new charges of seditious conspiracy against five members of the Proud Boys white nationalist group, according to an unsealed indictment. The charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
A lieutenant with the intelligence sector of Washinton D.C.'s police department has been placed on leave after allegations arose that he had been engaged in "improper communications" with Enrique Terrio, chairman of the far-right extremist Proud Boys.
According to published reports, the production team of the Colin Kaepernick production has had to increase security after threats of protests on site from the domestic terrorist group, Proud Boys. Executives on the project reportedly sent an email to the staff with measures to protect the cast and crew.
According to the prosecutor on the case, Tarrio's cooperation led to the prosecution of 13 people on federal charges and helped local authorities investigate a gambling ring. Even though the Proud Boys leader denies all of this, his former lawyer is confirming Enrique was in fact dropping dimes to save his own skin.
The incident has left four dead, which prompted President Joe Biden to speak out against the violent mob of thugs.
Terrio admitted to carrying out the Dec. 12 burning of the banner after it was stolen from a local Black church.
