Patriot Front Marches Through Washington on July 4

Hundreds of masked Patriot Front members marched through Washington on July 4. The white nationalist group moved near the U.S. Capitol and on Metro trains, carried American, Confederate and group flags, wore face coverings, and chanted "Reclaim America"; the group claimed about 400 members. The ADL, SPLC and GW extremism program describe Patriot Front as white supremacist or white nationalist. For diaspora Jews, visible extremist mobilization in the U.S. capital is a security concern Israel should track with American partners while defending open Jewish life and lawful civic order.
