Authorities have tied more than 50 suspects to political or far-right groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Nearly 70 of those charged in the riot are current or former members of the military, law enforcement or government — most of whom swore an oath to uphold the law and serve the public. About 50 defendants are still detained, many charged with violent offenses, weapons violations or larger conspiracies that point to possible planned unlawful actions…”
