Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia who was recently released from prison by President Trump, is free to enter Washington after a federal judge on Monday rescinded his own order from last week barring him from the city without permission.
The decision by the judge, Amit P. Mehta, to reverse himself was a minor development in the case of Mr. Rhodes who, until Mr. Trump granted him clemency on Inauguration Day, was serving an 18-year sentence on seditious conspiracy charges arising his role in the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
