A US District Judge recently dismissed federal charges against Robert Rundo, co-founder of the white supremacist group Rise Above Movement (RAM), and other alleged white supremacists, citing 'selective prosecution' and claiming a bias against the far right, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. The judge argued that prosecuting far-right protesters but not Antifa members for the same riots was 'constitutionally impermissible.' Despite a motion from U.S. attorneys to keep Rundo in custody, citing his flight risk and potential for violence, he was released from custody yesterday after his case was dismissed. The decision has sparked controversy, with the federal government seeking an emergency arrest warrant for Rundo and the Ninth Circuit quickly staying the judge's order.
