CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — An organizer of a white nationalist rally in Virginia that erupted in violence in 2017 has been sent to jail for failing to comply with court orders in a federal lawsuit against him and other rally participants, according to the nonprofit backing the suit.
The group called Integrity First for America said a federal judge ordered Elliott Kline to jail Monday afternoon after finding that he remained out of compliance and in contempt of court.
Kline served as leader of a white nationalist group called Identity Evropa, which was known for its campaigns to post white supremacist propaganda on college campuses.
