<p>Idaho police arrested 31 members of a group called Patriot Front after being found in a U-Haul vehicle near an LGBTQ Pride event in Coeur d&#8217;Alene on Saturday.</p>
<p>The arrests followed a call to police reporting a group of men carrying shields and dressed in military clothing, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOBDCaUWLmk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is clear to us based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession, the U-Haul with them along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown,&#8221; White said during the news conference.</p>
<p>The group reportedly wore shirts with Patriot Front logos, an organization that the Associated Press has described as a &#8220;white supremacist group.&#8221; Its website <a href="https://patriotfront.us/">states</a>, &#8220;Our people, born to this nation of our European race, must reforge themselves as a new collective capable of asserting our right to cultural independence.&#8221;</p>

<p class="font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md" data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text">&#8220;Many of those arrested were wearing logos representing Patriot Front, which rebranded after one of its members plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens,&#8221; The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/06/11/patriot-front-arrests-idaho/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>

<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text">&#8220;The group’s founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau, was among those arrested, according to jail records. Like the others, Rousseau was arrested on a charge of criminal conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor. The arrestees were held on $300 bail,&#8221; the report added.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text">The traffic stop and arrests were made near the North Idaho Pride Alliance’s Coeur d’Alene Pride in the Park event.</p>
<p data-qa="drop-cap-letter" data-el="text">&#8220;It appears they did not come here to engage in peaceful events,&#8221; Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris <a href="https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/police-detain-group-found-inside-uhaul-coeur-dalene/293-aa1593a5-5fd2-4ce4-b0c1-bf8edaedcfe6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>

<p>The &#8220;Pride in the Park&#8221; gathering was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nipridealliance/photos/a.1755155474730907/3235768336669606/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advertised</a> as a “family-friendly, community event celebrating diversity and building a stronger and more unified community for ALL.” It continued as scheduled.</p>
<p>&#8220;North Idaho Pride Alliance will not be responding to media or communication requests on Sunday, June 12th, and will follow up per our capacity,&#8221; the event&#8217;s organizers said in a Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nipridealliance/posts/3236961079883665?__cft__[0]=AZWklBlDc9XXV0kjHuOaNT4E2UUSIjO3Zes1E8tx-tj0-N4WsBe0f66fGJM0pi13NlSnOrx6cT3Gk0WR31Yu4-Q1SmCwBMV3990C8HCJy5Ehbr6G2qKpraUXtmbLi2hjEdZYnLrOcU5kE0rBSvStXUzoxMdKixPTE5NoIpjypvMBzA&amp;__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are deeply grateful to law enforcement agencies who were present and professionally responded throughout the day to keep our community safe,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;We thank the many Pride in the Park vendors, volunteers, performers, partners, supporters, sponsors, and event attendees for their role in ensuring a safe event for ALL by joining us yesterday in the spirit of love, kindness, and inclusion.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a terror alert on Tuesday over potential violence concerns. The warning noted the Supreme Court’s pending abortion ruling and tensions over the surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, among other controversies.</p>
<p>“Some domestic violent extremists have expressed grievances related to their perception that the U.S. government is unwilling or unable to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and have called for violence to stem the flow of undocumented migrants to the United States,” the Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-june-7-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alert</a> read.</p>
