In a significant legal ruling, a federal judge has imposed restrictions on Stuart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, alongside seven other defendants from the January 6 Capitol riot.

The court order specifically restricts them from entering Washington, D.C., as well as the Capitol building unless they obtain prior permission from the court.

This decision highlights the ongoing legal consequences faced by individuals involved in the events surrounding the January 6 insurrection.

The judge’s ruling reflects the seriousness with which the courts are addressing the actions of those linked to the riots, emphasizing accountability and maintaining public order.
