An 1871 anti-KKK law is being used to go after Kyle Rittenhouse.
"Kyle Rittenhouse is the 17-year-old white Illinois resident charged in the shooting deaths of two men at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha on Aug. 25."

"Two counts of the suit rely on infrequently used federal statutes designed to protect Black Americans from the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups. An 1871 law, often referred to as the “Ku Klux Klan Act,” made it a criminal offense to violently prevent someone from exercising their constitutional rights if the attack was racially motivated and premeditated."
" The plaintiffs are Hannah Gittings, whose partner was among those Rittenhouse allegedly killed; Christopher McNeal, a Black man and longtime resident of Kenosha; Nathan Peet, a Kenosha resident who attempted to assist one of the people allegedly killed by Rittenhouse; and Carmen Palmer, a Black woman who traveled to Kenosha from Milwaukee with her kids and a church protest group to march against racial injustice."
