They literally are operating. This is a blatant lie. I follow them on telegram and rumble. Thomas is still doing interviews and everything. I personally was thinking about joining them myself and local chapters are still very very active. Calling them feds is a scapegoat to make sure anyone on the right cannot be misconstrued to be associated with them all over the observation of them being fit, organized, and disciplined. Which is crazy to think about because militias literally try to be the thing that they are. In uniform, organized, and disciplined. Imagine that, a group further right wing than you creating something organized... wild right? There's so much disinformation and assumptions by prominent right wing personalities without evidence, even the many arrested at a protest that everyone claims they didnt take off their masks but yet the dept dox everyone there, and calling them feds with no basis other than the fear that they would be wrapped in with being "like them". Pretty pathetic. This is one of those Q anon conspiracies that everyone is latching on to.
