A UCLA student who posted white supremacist views online and founded an ultra-right campus organization has been charged with federal crimes for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection
The student, Christian Secor, was captured on video sitting in the chair that Vice President Mike Pence had hastily vacated after a pro-Trump mob broke into the Capitol, according to the FBI.
FBI agents, assisted by a SWAT team, arrested Secor, 22, at his Costa Mesa home Tuesday morning after searching the residence, said Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman.

In the livestream, Secor uses the moniker Scuffed Elliot Rodger, an apparent reference to the man who killed six people in Isla Vista, Calif., in 2014 and became a hero to “incels” — a fringe group of sexually frustrated men who blame women for their misery and often advocate for violence against them.

Secor’s arrest on Tuesday came as no surprise to UCLA students who documented and criticized his role as head of America First Bruins on campus, and urged the university to address what they saw in the past as hate speech and attacks on other students.
Secor, a former member of the Bruin Republicans, the campus’s pro-GOP student club, founded America First Bruins a few years ago, according to several UCLA’s, and is well known for using its platform on campus to deliver hateful, racist, and xenophobic comments. Students familiar with Secor.
Aidan Arasasingham, president of the UC Student Association, said the discussions about Secor’s controversial language reached a fever pitch in April, following disturbing tweets and comments directed at immigrant, undocumented and international students, as well as LGBTQ students and Jewish students.
Comments and Secor’s group sparked a discussion on campus about freedom of expression and hate speech. Arasasingham, a senior and global research division, said that many students petitioned university administrators to annul the club’s charter, an action official refused to do so on First Amendment rights grounds.
