The suit says the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers worked together to plan and finance the attack, which it described as"a coordinated act of domestic terrorism".The city of Washington DC has sued far-right groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, seeking to collect on the financial costs of the deadly 6 January attack on the US Capitol and its aftermath.
"Our intent is to hold these violent mobsters and these violent hate groups accountable and to get every penny of damage we can," he said at a news conference.The lawsuit will seek to recover the costs of deploying roughly 1,100 city police officers to bolster other police forces who defended the Capitol against the attack, which it says amounts to millions of dollars.
I’m seeking damages in this case and will keep working to ensure such an assault never happens again.Four people died and hundreds were injured during the multi-hour onslaught, and one police officer died the next day of injuries sustained while defending Congress. Four officers who were at the Capitol that day have since taken their own lives.
The law has been used to target the Klan and other extremist groups - most recently last month, when a jury found the organizers of a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, liable for $26 million USD in damages.'This is how I'm going to die': Police testify about defending US Capitol from Trump supporters
