Who Are the People Behind ‘Rise of the Moors’ Group?

A 9-hour standoff with police on a Massachusetts turnpike led to 11 arrests. The suspects were heavily armed members of a group called “Rise of the Moors,” and they have allegedly been causing trouble by trying to take over other people’s homes. Shanetta Little says she received letters from an organization saying the group was taking possession of the New Jersey house she just bought because the “home was their ancestral land.“ Police intervened and confirmed the house belonged to Little.
