The arrests of 3 alleged members of the fringe network known as The Base came days before the FBI said the men planned to attend a gun rights rally in Virginia.
In the past, law enforcement, as well as anti-fascists and journalists, have managed to successfully monitor and infiltrate The Base, said Evan Balgord, the executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.
Experts say the group uses encrypted chat rooms usually broken up into cells based on geographic location. They organize recruitment drives and make fairly sophisticated propaganda videos and posters. The post from Roman Wolf, believed to be a pseudonym for The Base's founder, described the arrests as"targeted harassment" and warned the group"will continue our struggle for survival undeterred."
With 2020 being an election year, he added, he expects the number of hate crime incidents to only increase. Over the past decade, his research has found that the two worst months for hate crime incidents in the U.S. were in November 2016 and October 2018.
