According to the state of Virginia's "Offender Locator," Alex Michael Ramos -- sentenced to six years for his role in the racist group attack on DeAndre Harris at "Unite the Right" in 2017 -- will be released tomorrow, Dec 15th.

Article on Ramos' case:

Prior to traveling from Georgia to Virginia for "Unite the Right," Ramos was active in the III% Security Force militia here in Georgia. That far-right militia subsequently tried to downplay Ramos' role within it. However, in June 2017 we photographed Ramos at an Islamophobic rally in Atlanta wearing a patch identifying him as having the rank of "Sgt." in the group:

Ramos was also active in the "Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights," which was the "tactical" wing of the Proud Boys circa 2017.

Despite identifying as Puerto Rican, Ramos appears to have received support from white supremacists while imprisoned. Attached is a screen-capture of now-deleted Telegram comments from Will Planer ("Triumph of the Will"), a member of the racist/fascist Patriot Front, from early last week. The comments were posted in a white power clothing/merch store's Telegram channel. Planer complains that the Proud Boys did not support Ramos enough while he served his sentence & suggests that Planer plans to see Ramos once Ramos is released.

Predictably, prison does not appear to have caused Ramos to put any distance between himself and the far-right. We -- not the authorities and prisons -- keep us safe. We protect each other & our communities.
