Freed Jan. 6 Convicts Are Back on the Street and Ready to Help Trump
💥Some in law enforcement fear a surge in violence by far-right groups;
💥Proud Boys leader jokes he could serve in the cabinet as ‘Secretary of Retaliation’
🔥When Trump was asked at a press event if there was a place for these groups in politics, he said,
“Well, we have to see. They’ve been given a pardon. I thought their sentences were ridiculous and excessive.”
Some of the groups seem eager to demonstrate their loyalty to the president by directly participating in his initiatives,
including his promised mass deportations.
♦️“1/20/25: Trump is sworn in as President,” a recent Telegram post by an Ohio Proud Boys group said.
♦️ “1/21/25: Me and the Proud Boys begin the deportations.”
In an interview Thursday, #Rhodes said he would love to work for the Department of Government Efficiency,
the Elon #Musk-led effort to cut public spending;
or with Tulsi #Gabbard and Kash Patel, Trump’s nominees for national intelligence director and head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, respectively.
Rhodes said he wants to push the federal government to declassify documents to take down the “deep state,”
reform prisons and get “accountability and justice” for those convicted over their Jan. 6 involvement.
Both #Tarrio and Rhodes said they spent time in solitary confinement and were shipped from one prison to another.
Other sympathizers are surfacing with more ominous messages.
On right-wing online forums that served as a staging ground for Jan. 6, dozens of posts call for the “traitors” involved in prosecuting the Capitol rioters to be brought to justice.
💥“Execute them,” wrote one anonymous user.
Some former law-enforcement officials worry about the potential for renewed violence.
👉Trump’s executive orders have been “putting labels on the enemy,” said Daryl Johnson, a former senior analyst at the Department of Homeland Security who focused on right-wing extremist groups.
“With these orders targeting immigrants, LGBTQ, and other communities, these people could unleash their anger or violence against people they feel Trump is calling out.”
In Springfield, Ohio,
a city that was thrust into the spotlight after Trump falsely accused Haitian migrants of eating pets,
the Haitian Community Help and Support Center received a call this week threatening
💥“You Haitians get ready. I will come for you.”
