Stewart Rhodes—the founder of the far-right Oath Keepers militia—was sentenced to 18 years in prison, according to multiple reports, nearly six months after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy for the group’s involvement in an attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Rhodes’ actions on January 6 amounted to domestic terrorism, according to CNN, adding Rhodes “was the one giving the orders” as members of the Oath Keepers participated in the riot.

Rhodes—along with Oath Keepers member Kelly Meggs—was convicted in November of seditious conspiracy in addition to obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.
