Although it's important to point out that those two are vastly different.

Sovereign citizens deliberately misinterpret US laws to (in their minds) escape jurisdiction. Reichsbürger are actively planning a coup to overthrow the government, install an actual emperor and go back to feudalism.

Sounds ridiculous but they are connected and prepared surprisingly well wich make them a real threat, not just a funny curiosity.
