Hate crimes in the United States have been on the rise in recent times. The shootings in Buffalo, New York when a young white male gunned down several African American grocery shoppers, and in California where the shooting took place in a church with several members of Taiwanese descent are just two examples in the last month.

More than 30 people were arrested in Idaho on Saturday, June 11, 2022. The suspects are believed to be members of the White nationalist group called Patriot Front.

The group was seen gathering near a Pride parade in the city of Coeur d’Alene with military-grade gear, several guns, and a U-Haul van. Police officers in Coeur d’Alene believe the group had come to the area to riot and create some chaos.

FBI Public Affairs Specialist Sandra Yi Barker has emphasized that the local Coeur d’Alene police are the lead law enforcement agency investigating the situation with the FBI only assisting local police in its investigation.
