Maine Governor Janet Mills signs a bill into law to restrict paramilitary training in response to a neo-Nazi's attempt to create a training center for a 'blood tribe'. The law allows the attorney general to file for a court injunction and bring charges with penalties of up to a year in jail.

AUGUSTA, Maine — A bill to restrict paramilitary training in Maine in response to a neo-Nazi who wanted to create a training center for a “blood tribe” was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills on Friday.

It was introduced after the prominent neo-Nazi and white supremacist, Christopher Pohlhaus, sought to set up a training center on property that he ultimately sold before carrying out the plan. Attorney General Aaron Frey said militias that don’t follow the orders of civilian leaders were already prohibited by the Maine Constitution, but that applies specifically to groups parading with guns in public or outfitted in clothing that looks like real military uniforms.
