FBI arrests neo-Nazi leader who fled the country following indictments related to Charlottesville rally
The FBI has arrested the leader of a violent California neo-Nazi gang on a federal conspiracy charge after he apparently fled to Central America earlier this month.
Robert Paul Rundo, 28, a resident of Huntington Beach, California, is being held at the federal jail in downtown Los Angeles. He was charged in a criminal complaint that was unsealed Tuesday.
Rundo apparently crossed into Mexico two weeks ago and was brought back to the United States on Monday, according to two people familiar with the case who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
He is the founder of the Rise Above Movement, a Southern California-based, neo-Nazi gang whose members were involved in violent activity at protests throughout California in 2017. He was among four people associated with the group charged with plotting riots and inciting violence, according to court documents.

justice. All countries w/ tons of illegal immigrants and foreigners, according to his group. How delightful and wonderful. I love the irony of this. I am so happy that our Central American and Mexican friends caught him or at least were guided to his whereabouts somehow.

Maybe we can make an agreement with a South American country to accept sporadic KKKers, and in return, we'll vet people more generously in those caravans?

They should have left him down there and simply seized his bank accounts.
