From the article:
Lang, who was charged with beating police officers with a baseball bat on Jan. 6, 2021, has relished online his role in provoking outrage and anti-immigrant sentiments.
Lang had sat in jail for four years after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as he was awaiting trial. During that time, he tried to organize an armed militant group, refused to adhere to jail rules and left the court “no basis to conclude that he poses anything but a continuing danger to the public,” a federal judge assigned to his case wrote in 2024.
