Several members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right extremist group, cannot enter Washington, DC, or the grounds of the US Capitol without first receiving court permission, a federal judge said Friday, days after President Donald Trump commuted their prison sentences.

The Department of Justice under the Trump administration has demanded that members of the Oath Keepers militia who have been barred from entering Washington D.C. or the US Capitol be allowed to do so.

By Susan Heavey and Andrew Goudsward WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A federal judge on Friday barred Stewart Rhodes, the former leader of the far-right Oath Keepers group, and others in its top ranks from entering Washington - and specifically the U.

District Judge Amit Mehta issued the order two days after Rhodes visited Capitol Hill, where the Texas resident met with at least one lawmaker, chatted with others and defended his actions the day of the riot.
