Germar Arrest (Dec 2024)
Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2024 7:36 pm
There have been questions about this, so we can use this thread to discuss the matter. Let's stick to basic facts and the organizational implications and not get into speculative, salacious, or defamatory comments.
1) Germar was arrested on 12/9/2024 in NY

"Fugitive From Justice - Out of State Crime"
This appears to be related to charges from Pennsylvania. There is nothing to indicate he is being extradited to Germany for Holocaust denial.
2) Pennsylvania Records
Most states allow you to search court records online.

I see six criminal items. Four of them are closed and two are inactive. The inactive cases are from 2022.
There are charges for "open lewdness" etc with an offense date of 7/16/2022
The other is for "defiant trepass" with offense date of 8/25/2022
On 10/27/2022, warrants were issued for his arrest due to failure to appear in court https://attorneyportal.yorkcountypa.gov ... antPortal/
So, what does this all mean? Apparently, GR continued with his exercise routine even into 2022 and new charges were brought. GR then failed to appear in court and so a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
3) The Shields podcast was not related
The debate was recorded in California weeks ago. It is coincidental that news of the 12/9 arrest broke at the same time the debate was posted online (12/12).
Implications
I do not know GR's immigration situation, but as I recall he had said the problems had been resolved. Generally speaking, for someone with a green card to get deported, you have to get convicted of a felony (or they have to show you got your green card under false pretenses). I would not think any of the above would be serious enough to result in his deportation from the US.
