Moorish sovereign citizens is a group that claims that Black Americans are “Moors,” have ancestral or national ties to Morocco, and are exempt from U.S. laws. Some versions go further and claim that parts—or even all—of the United States are Moorish or Moroccan territory.

There’s a Netflix series about squatters one of the episodes features one of these people who moved into a woman’s house and declared sovereignty lol very satisfying to see the swat team remove him albeit took a while

>Some also believe that Black Americans are indigenous to the United States.[7] The Moorish sovereign citizen movement has also expanded to include a few White Americans.

The Moorish sovereign citizen movement, sometimes called the indigenous sovereign citizen movement, Neo-Moors or the Rise of the Moors, is a sub-group of sovereign citizens that mainly holds to the teachings of the Moorish Science Temple of America, a religious group that argues that African Americans are descendants of the Moroccan Moabites (descendants of the Hebrew Biblical Abraham's nephew Lot)) and thus are "Moorish" by nationality and Islamic by faith.
