MAGA rioters' desperate bid to declare themselves 'sovereign citizens' is blowing up in their faces On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that convicted participants in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol are increasingly resorting to nonsense legal conspiracy theories from the "sovereign citizen" movement to try to force federal officials to release them — with poor results. "On October 28, long after pleading guilty to brawling with police inside the U.S. Capitol, James Mault and Greg Rubenacker filed near-identical documents from inside Pennsylvania’s Allenwood Low correctional facility," reported Kelly Weill, noting that these filings claimed the district court where they were found guilty is a "private for profit corporation" with no jurisdiction over them. "The filings, full of pseudo-legal arguments, strange punctuation, and (in Rubenacker’s case) what appears to be blood, bear the hallmarks of sovereign citizen ideology. The sovereign citizen movement falsely claims that adherents are immune from large portions of the law, or that many government institutions are secretly illegitimate. The movement has a growing foothold in far-right communities, including among QAnon followers and members of an alleged plot to overthrow the German government who were arrested this month." The most famous sovereign citizen arrested at the Capitol attack, the report noted, is Pauline Bauer, who previously claimed divine immunity from U.S. law and demanded all charges dropped against her "vessel" — a reference to the fact that sovereign citizens believe when their name appears in all-caps in an indictment, it means the government is prosecuting a fictitious entity.
