“Aggressive” rise of Colorado’s extremist militia groups follows long history in state

The far-right militia movement has gained visibilty in Colorado over the past year after its members appeared at protests across the state. Men wearing patches for the Three Percenter movement as well as identifiers of other far-right groups appeared at Black Lives Matter protests in Denver. Dozens of men in military-style gear provided security for a Jan. 6 rally at the Colorado Capitol for people who falsely believe President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
