CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Four California men described as “serial rioters” are facing federal charges after prosecutors say they flew across the country for a rally in Virginia last year and violently attacked counterprotesters.
Federal agents arrested the men on Tuesday, Oct. 2. Prosecutors identified them as members of the Rise Above Movement, describing the movement as a militant white supremacist group that espouses anti-Semitic and other racist views which meets regularly to train in boxing and other fighting techniques.
