He infiltrated a white supremacist group. Now he's being sued - USA Trending Blog

Members of the white supremacist organization Patriot Front have filed a federal lawsuit against a leftist activist, claiming he infiltrated their group and revealed their identities as members of the racist organization.

The activist's "doxxing" of the four plaintiffs as members of Patriot Front cost them their jobs, incomes and relationships with family members, the lawsuit claims.

Filed in federal court in the Western District of Washington by a Spokane law form, the case is an unusual new tactic from members of Patriot Front. The Texas-based group has gained notoriety for holding marches with dozens of masked young men wearing chinos, carrying American flags and chanting slogans. Last year, 31 members of Patriot Front were arrested when police pulled over a U-Haul that was allegedly transporting them to disrupt a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They were charged with conspiracy to riot.


Who are Patriot Front?

Patriot Front describes itself as dedicated to "a hard reset on the nation we see today a return to the traditions and virtues of our forefathers."

The Anti-Defamation League calls the organization a white supremacist group that "justifies its ideology of hate and intolerance under the guise of preserving the ethnic and cultural origins of its members’ European ancestors." The organization is mostly active in spreading propaganda in the form of flyers, banners and stickers that members distribute around the country.
