Judge Lifts Travel Ban on Oath Keepers Leader Rhodes
A federal judge has lifted travel restrictions for Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia, allowing him and other members to enter Washington, D.C., after their sentences were commuted by President Trump. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the Justice Department's request to maintain the restrictions was denied as it was determined that the commutations effectively negated previous terms of supervised release. In his ruling, Mehta emphasized that while a pardon erases the effect of a conviction, a commutation does not, yet it implies a change in the defendants' status. Rhodes, who had previously been sentenced to 18 years for his role in the Capitol attack, was seen in the Capitol shortly after his commutation. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, a Trump ally, had argued against the restrictions, asserting that commuted sentences should allow unrestricted access to the capital. The decision reflects a significant shift in the legal landscape for those involved in the January 6 insurrection.
