Dozens affiliated with a white nationalist group were arrested on Saturday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, near a Pride event in the city.
In a press conference Saturday evening, police shared that they had received a tip concerning a large group wearing matching outfits and masks.
“At approximately 1:38 this afternoon we received a telephone call from a concerned citizen who reported that approximately 20 people jumped into a UHAUL wearing masks. They had shields and ‘looked like a little army,’” said Coeur d’Alene Chief Of Police Lee White.
The 31 individuals were detained hours after the tip was shared and were found to be affiliated with white nationalist group Patriot Front.
White said that members of the group, many of whom were dressed in Patriot Front paraphernalia, hailed from at least 11 different states.
The members were arrested for conspiracy to riot after the police uncovered plans to cause disturbances at the Pride parade and throughout the city.
White expressed appreciation for the tip from an observant citizen and said that he is satisfied with placing the large group in jail as police sift through further evidence.
“In my opinion, I would gladly arrest 31 individuals who were coming to riot in our city for a misdemeanor rather than have them participate in some sort of seriously disruptive event, which is exactly what they were planning in the downtown area,” White said.
Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris expressed a similar sentiment, saying that the group needed to be placed in jail for the time being.

“... a tip concerning a large group wearing matching outfits and masks.”
We need to be calling in a lot of tips come Football season.
False flag.
What were they arrested for?
Meanwhile antifa and blm are allowed go traverse the country burning, looting, murdering, stopping traffic, closing businesses, blocking free access, without consequence.
Surprise! More kabuki theater from our enemies at the fbi.
Antifa members tend to wear all black outfits and wear masks, but I haven’t heard of any pre-assault arrests of them.
“In my opinion, I would gladly arrest 31 individuals who were coming to riot in our city for a misdemeanor rather than have them participate in some sort of seriously disruptive event, which is exactly what they were planning in the downtown area,” White said
This guy must have his hands full arresting Antifa and BLM for…you know… being in n a group somewhere.
SURPRISE the Idaho cops busted them LOL, LOL, false flag by FBI busted by Idaho cops!!!
The “tip” thing is nonsense - a lie, most likely. That was said by police because they had no actual reasonable expectation they were ‘planning to riot’ other than how they were dressed and riding in the same vehicle. The “tip” gave them the legal basis for further persecution and “found evidence.”
But if the idaho cops were not in on it, why did they not remove their masks? Do they not need to identify them? I mean this is the reason for mug shots...it is to identify a human by physical characteristics.
FEDS. All were in physical shape. Matching uniforms. No Tubbys or out of shape weekend warriors.
This was a photo op. a set up. propaganda. No White Supremacy groups? Make your own. The Left will eat it up.
Conspiracy to riot seems awfully flimsy excuse to arrest some people.
Indeed. I’ll bet that they were all wearing khakis, too.
And they were booked on "conspiring to riot"...LOL!
First, were these actual real right-wing extremists, or fake-hired-for-acting wannabe extremists?
Second, on IDs presented...did the cops validate any of them, or were they all fake IDs?
Third, who paid bail and was it all a cash event?
Fourth, who travels around in a U-Haul truck? I’d wager a bus brought them in (from another state) and some hired-U-Haul guy rented the truck....picking up the crew at some motel and was paid in cash.
Funny how they can never seem to do this for Klantifa which does the exact same thing thousands and thousands of times.
This is a tough one. Was it;
A)...Feds looking to foment trouble in a media-lacking area where they could control the reports that got out
B)...Feds that got popped by a local sheriff who wasn’t in the loop
C)...Feds that tipped the locals to this truck load of other Feds simply for the photo-op as an example “of our nation’s greatest danger”
With the “perps” being allowed to remain masked, my thought goes to (C) with local collaboration. We’ll just have to wait and see if this gets legs or goes down the memory hole
It’s funny how they mince their words in the article. To me it reads “ a group all dressed the same that scared woke snowflakes”. We are witnessing a takeover of our treasonous government.
