Stewart Rhodes: Back in Action with a New Plan for Oath Keepers

Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, recently shared his plans to revive the group. He wants them to be ready for action if President Trump asks. Rhodes was let out of prison earlier this year after Trump cut his 18-year sentence short. He believes Trump can use the Oath Keepers to help enforce immigration laws. Rhodes thinks the country is facing three big problems: an invasion, an insurrection, and resistance against federal law. He says these issues give Trump the power to call on the militia, which includes the National Guard and other groups. Rhodes wants Trump to order all able-bodied men to join the militia and get ready for his commands.The Oath Keepers leader was found guilty in 2023 for his part in the January 6th Capitol riot. But Trump pardoned him and nearly 1, 500 others after returning to the White House. Rhodes is now urging Trump to use his power to call up the militia and put veterans in charge of training and organizing. Rhodes believes that if Trump orders the militia to act, it will give them legal protection. He wants the group to be ready to follow Trump's orders and stand by for his commands. This move has raised questions about the role of militias in modern society and the limits of presidential power. Critics argue that Rhodes' plans could lead to further division and conflict. They point out that the Oath Keepers have a history of controversial actions and that giving them a formal role could be dangerous. Supporters, however, see it as a way to protect the country and enforce the law.
