Bond has been revoked for the leader of a white supremacist group charged with multiple felony counts, some related to a 2019 incident in Dexter.
25-year old Justen Watkins of Bad Axe is the self-proclaimed leader of The Base, a national white supremacist group with violent inclinations according to a release from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nesselâs office.
On a late evening in December 2019, he and an associate, 35-year-old Alfred Gorman of Taylor, allegedly dressed in dark clothing, shined a light and took pictures on a Dexter familyâs front porch, mistaking it for the home of someone they believed to be in Antifa. They posted the pictures on the social media platform Telegram.

Here is that headline and some more you might have missed this week.

“Such derogatory language is harmful to the LGBTQ community,” council stated in a resolution Tuesday morning, April 20, condemning Hayner’s remarks and recommending he attend anti-discrimination, diversity and sensitivity training.
