Michigan Liberty Militia members began making national headlines in the spring, as they were among the protesters that rallied against the governor's coronavirus executive orders. Recently, they've been acting as security at the request of protest organizers.
"It's to keep the peace," co-founder Phil Robinson told WOOD-TV. "It's to keep everyone safe."
