Four members of a white supremacy group have been indicted by a federal grand jury in California on charges of inciting violence at political rallies in the state last year.

All four men are allegedly members of the “the Rise Above Movement” (RAM), a Southern California-based white supremacy extremist group.

The men were taken into custody late last month and have been charged with one count each of conspiracy, with three of them additionally charged with one count of rioting, according to the Justice Department.

They are scheduled to be arraigned later this month.

The men are accused of traveling to three cities in California last year with the purpose of inciting violence at political rallies, according to the federal indictment unsealed in late October.

They used the internet to coordinate "combat training," travel and attendance at political rallies across the state, according to the indictment.

Authorities have identified the men as Robert Rundo, allegedly a founding member of RAM, Robert Boman, Tyler Laube and Aaron Eason.

According to the DOJ, the men attended a pro-Trump rally in March 2017, where Rundo, Boman and Laube were accused of attacking a number of counter-protestors, including two journalists.

The men then used the internet to “celebrate their acts of violence in order to recruit members for future events," according to court documents filed last month.

RAM and its members documented and promoted their white supremacy ideology through postings on various internet platforms and through graffiti, according to the unsealed indictment.

The RAM group is described in the indictment as “a combat-ready, militant group of a new nationalist and white supremacy and identity movement.”

The indictments come just weeks after four other California members of the same group were indicted for allegedly inciting last year's deadly “Unite the Right” riot in Charlottesville, Va.
