A federal judge on Monday reversed his order prohibiting Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and seven other members of the group from entering Washington, D.C., without court approval, following President Trump’s commutation of their sentences for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointed who presided over the Oath Keepers conspiracy trials, vacated the restriction, stating that it would be “improper” to alter their original sentences “post-commutation.”
