Several members of the ‘Rise of the Moors’ sovereign citizen militia have appeared in court for arraignment, where they refused to cooperate and rejected the court’s authority, claiming they are not subject to U.S. laws.
The arraignment on Tuesday in Medford, Massachusetts came after the 11 militiamen were arrested in an armed standoff with police over the weekend, which was resolved without casualties.
They face several charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and the use of body armor in commission of a crime, in connection with the standoff that started early Saturday morning on Interstate 95 in Wakefield.
