Vem Miller, the Nevada man arrested at a checkpoint in southern California allegedly en route to a Donald Trump campaign rally, was associated with a far-right movement called the Sovereign Citizens, according to the local sheriff.
Sovereign Citizen movement grew under Trump
While not associated with any particular party due to their eschewing of politics, the Sovereign Citizen movement has nevertheless expanded and attracted new members during the era of former President Donald Trump.
According to a recent report by the ADL’s Center on Extremism, the Sovereign Citizen movement has grown in recent years “by appealing to new audiences, including anti-vaxxers, QAnon adherents, and MAGA supporters.”
