RICHMOND, Va. — Police in Georgia say three men linked to a violent white supremacist group have been charged with conspiring to commit murder.
Friday's announcement comes a day after three other members of The Base who were believed to be planning to attend a pro-gun rally in Virginia were arrested on federal charges.
The arrests are adding to rising fears that Monday's rally in Richmond will turn violent and could potentially become a repeat of the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville.
Experts say members of The Base train in military-style camps, want to create a white ethno-state and have pledged violence against minorities.
