Wednesday’s criminal attack on the US Capitol by a mob of right-wing extremists egged on by a sitting president was eerily familiar to many in the environmental movement who have been closely following some of these groups’ assaults on public lands in recent years, including the 2016 armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.
Many of the extremist and militia outfits that participated in the January 6 armed insurrection against our democracy, including the Oath Keepers and III Percenters, are the same ones that have targeted national forests, parks, monuments, and wildlife refuges in the West to advance their anti-government beliefs.
