Far-right groups continue to pose threats despite Jan. 6 convictions.
Despite the recent convictions of far-right groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers on charges of seditious conspiracy, law enforcement agencies are still facing threats from violent groups and individuals on the right. Hate crimes and threats have been on the rise, with reports of such crimes against Asians and members of the LGBTQ community seeing the biggest increase. Experts warn that the lines between right-wing extremists and ordinary right-wing public figures have become blurred, and that individual extremists who have been radicalized online by hateful ideology pose a significant threat.
