A member of the Proud Boys has disappeared ahead of his sentencing on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to an arrest warrant unsealed on Friday.

Christopher Worrell was convicted earlier this year on seven counts related to his conduct during the insurrection, including assaulting a group of Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and lying to investigators.

He was set to be sentenced on Friday, with prosecutors seeking 14 years in prison. However, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on Tuesday, and his sentencing hearing was cancelled on Wednesday, court records show.

    There is often the issue that these right wing cells are without their knowledge governmental “stay behind” cells who are operating somewhat under the jurisdiction of factions of the US government who are legally barred from operating clandestine missions on US borders.

    What factions of the US Government are barred from operating clandestine missions on US borders?

    Seeing that immigrants who are members of political extremist groups are barred from having permanent residence in the US, while registered spies are not.

    Letting people who are spies live in our country doesn’t sound like a very good idea. Am I missing something?
