Eight men linked to a violent racist skinhead group are in jail in the U.S. South on felony conspiracy charges or awaiting extradition for hate crimes against Jewish and LGBTQ+ targets, Raw Story has learned.

Five North Carolina men, ranging in age from 18 to 22 and described in court filings as “supporters of the Vinlanders Social Club/Firm 22 and members of the Southern Sons, all known white supremacist/nazi groups,” were arrested on Jan. 21 and booked into the Mecklenburg County Detention Center in Charlotte, N.C.

Court documents suggest charges may follow for three others detained outside North Carolina....

Federal prosecutors will argue that “adherence” to “violent and extremist Antifa ideology” shores up material-support-for-terrorists charges against protesters who shot fireworks, destroyed a surveillance camera, and vandalized vehicles and a guard shed at a Texas ICE facility on July 4.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice also intends to cite previous cases involving jihadist and white supremacist defendants.

One leading expert told Raw Story “characterizing ‘Antifa ideology’ as necessarily violent,” like such established extremist threats, indicated the weakness of the government’s case....

Before a law enforcement crackdown hobbled it in 2021, the Base established itself as one of the most active neo-Nazi accelerationist groups — a term for groups that seek to hasten societal collapse by violent means.

Now the Base has rebuilt, to the extent that last year it earned a spot on the European Union list of sanctioned terrorist groups.

A sudden burst of activity in Ukraine has renewed suspicions that the Base and its leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, are linked to Russian intelligence and security services. ...

One of two U.S.-based leaders of the white supremacist Terrorgram Collective accused of solicitation of the murder of federal officials and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, among other charges, has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

Dallas Erin Humber’s lawyer filed a notice co-signed by attorneys for the U.S. Department of Justice on July 25, announcing that the parties have entered a plea deal, Raw Story can reveal.

Humber is expected to appear before a federal judge in Sacramento on Aug. 8 to formally enter a guilty plea. Last September, Humber pleaded not guilty. Her next court appearance is described as a "change of plea hearing." As charged, she could face up to 220 years in prison....

A far-right Pennsylvania activist and podcaster has suggested Donald Trump should be executed and FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino tortured, in both cases for failing to provide evidence in support of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

“Donald Trump, along with every other president since John F. Kennedy, is a traitor to their country,” Matthew Wakulik wrote on X last month. “This is just another example of why 95% of all federal government employees should be tried for treason and given the maximum penalty.”

Wakulik was angered by Trump’s failure to declassify government files on the Israeli military’s 1967 attack on a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Liberty, which was determined to have been a mistake....

CHICAGO — While hundreds of hard left, pro-Palestine activists faced off against Chicago police officers in riot gear outside the Israeli consulate on Tuesday night, agents of chaos lurked nearby.

Nazis and white nationalist provocateurs tailed the protest, along with right-wing media performers seeking potentially violent content for MAGA audiences that support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

One of the Nazi provocateurs, a woman with purple hair identified by her LinkedIn profile as Rachel Siegel, drew immediate attention before the protest by unfurling a banner before the start of the protest that read, “Stop white replacement. Deport them all.”...
