The Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism found over 38,000 names on the Oath Keepers membership list and discovered hundreds of them work in law enforcement including as police chiefs and sheriffs.
An Oath Keeper, brought on to provide security, stands guard during a pro-Donald Trump rally at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley, California on April 27, 2017.
"Even for those who claimed to have left the organization when it began to employ more aggressive tactics in 2014, it is important to remember that the Oath Keepers have espoused extremism since their founding, and this fact was not enough to deter these individuals from signing up," the report says.database doesn't prove that a person was ever an active member of the group or shares its ideology.
Jensen said he felt compelled to join because he "believed in the oath that we took to support the US Constitution and to defend it against enemies foreign and domestic." He wouldn't say whether he now disavows the Oath Keepers, saying he doesn't have enough information about the group today. "I don’t even know what they’re posting. I never get any updates," said Mike Hollinshead, sheriff of Idaho’s Elmore County. "I'm not paying dues or membership fees or anything."
