Federal prosecutors are facing a major reversal in their efforts to hold far-right extremist groups accountable. The Trump administration has submitted a shocking request to vacate the convictions of 12 key members of various militias, sparking outrage and concern among law enforcement officials and civil rights advocates. The move comes as a surprise, given the heightened focus on domestic terrorism in the wake of recent high-profile attacks. The request is now in the hands of a federal judge, who will decide whether to grant the administration's request and potentially set free individuals linked to violent crimes.
