Some U.S. far-right groups are warning members to avoid the armed rallies planned before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, alleging that the federal government or rivals may be seeking to incite them to violence and entrap them.
"Groups would love for us to show up and get violent in order to push their own agenda — whether it be a crackdown on militias, gun legislation or something else to charge Donald Trump with in this farce of an impeachment,” said Michael Lackomar, one of the 217 members of the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia.
He said his group has reversed plans to air grievances at the state capitol in Lansing on Sunday ranging from the election of Biden to COVID-19 restrictions.
