Since the "Rod of Iron Ministries" (an offshoot from the Unification Church) was founded in 2017, its grown, established fringe political alliances, and incorporated in at least 2 more states.

It's also become more extreme. And, church leaders were at the Capitol on January 6.

Recently one member of the Rod of Iron Ministries, aka Sanctuary Church, was arrested for allegedly attacking an MTA vehicle, and had a "kill list' in his car.

He's facing federal charges. Ex-church members say that incident should be a warning for whats to come.

      For the people not there yeah, it validated the right's feeling of persecution by the government. And the resulting public backlash deterred the government from further crackdowns on far right groups (along with Ruby Ridge)
