Four members of a group called The Base have been convicted in Tuscola or Washtenaw counties since charges were filed in 2020, AG Nessel s office said.
Multiple members of a Neo-Nazi group known as The Base have pleaded guilty to various criminal charges, including gang membership. Two leaders now await sentencing.
One of the charges brought toward members of The Base - conspiring to train for a civil disorder - was the first time it was used in Michigan history. The defendants allegedly entered vacant prisons in search of possible sites for paramilitary exercises.
