One of the white-supremacist groups behind the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia has been banned from hosting protests in the city.
The League of the South, a Confederacy-worshipping hate group, is not welcome back in Charlottesville, after they agreed to a deal with the city on Monday, the Southern Poverty Law Center first reported.
The deal stems from a lawsuit by Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection accusing the League and other Unite the Right participants of engaging in violent protests that escalated until a man connected with white-supremacist groups rammed a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman.
Now the League is barred from demonstrating in the city again. And the ongoing lawsuit means more white-supremacist groups might sign similar deals.
