Patriot Front

Tweet

This is yet another of the nationalist, neo-fascist hate groups that have operated in Northern Idaho and the Spokane, Washington area or the United States. Last weekend there was some members watching the anti ICE protest rally held in Caldwell, Idaho. When interviewed by newscasters in the area they said they liked having ICE in Idaho. In June 2022 31 members of such groups were arrested at a gay pride event here in Idaho. Several were found guilty and sentenced to fines, jail and probation. They seemed to slither back into obscurity until this recent sighting. The Patriot Front is a nazi group that formed after a 2017 Charlottesville rally. They organize marches and distribute propaganda. Their leader is Thomas Ryan Rousseau from Grapevine, Texas. This sort of thing makes me wonder how many employees of ICE are affiliated with neo-fascist groups. This puts a whole new layer of horror and disgust on ICE and its members.
