An analysis of a leaked database finds that several dozen law enforcement, first responders, and elected officials in Illinois may have connections to the Oath Keepers… described as an anti-government extremist group with militia ties.
The Anti-Defamation League says the records of people who were once dues-paying members of the group finds 21 names that match up to current police officers, along with 10 firefighters or paramedics, and three elected officials. The ADL says not everyone on the list is necessarily still a member, and says some people may have cut their ties with the Oath Keepers after its involvement in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The ADL did not disclose specific names on the list.
