WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - A man clad in a 'Camp Auschwitz' sweatshirt, a gold medal-winning Olympic swimmer, and a Proud Boys supporter are among those arrested by the FBI in connection with the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, the Department of Justice said on Wednesday.
The sweatshirt also bore a skull and crossbones and the words "Work Brings Freedom" - echoing the German slogan atop the main gate at the original Auschwitz camp. Florea was a supporter of the Proud Boys and had applied to become a member, the government said during his hearing. The judge said the government's allegations suggested that Florea's Jan. 6 posts "make clear frankly what reflects a premeditated plan to exact violence against people in New York and people in Washington."
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin said on Tuesday that while many people in custody were arrested on less serious charges, such as unlawful entry, some offenders may face steeper charges. A police spokeswoman in a statement said the two officers had been placed on administrative leave pending review of the matter.
