Four
militant white nationalists from California were arrested by federal
authorities Tuesday on charges that they traveled to Virginia with the
intent to incite a riot and commit violence at last year’s deadly
far-right rallies in Charlottesville.
Thomas Cullen, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia, announced that charges had been filed against Benjamin Drake Daley of Redondo Beach, Michael Paul Miselis of Lawndale, Cole Evan White of San Fransisco and Thomas Walter Gillen, whose hometown was not immediately known.
The
four defendants are members of the so-called Rise Above Movement, a
white supremacist group based in Southern California that promotes
“clean living” and meets regularly in public parks to train in physical
fitness, boxing and other street fighting techniques, according to the
affidavit.
