Patriot Front Fears Antifa Infiltrators
Leaks also show Patriot Front has grown deeply paranoid over the years, reducing its ability to recruit online. Infiltration is a major concern. Anti-fascists groups around the country have repeatedly targeted Patriot Front members, exposing their identities, which has led to those same members, now linked to Nazism, losing jobs and being ostracized. The group’s recruiters have attempted to devise ways of interviewing potential members with the aim of filtering out infiltrators who might expose its private communications, a common occurrence, or who might report their activities to law enforcement. The group has also concocted cover stories when operating in public and attempts to train members in remote public parks to avoid being observed.
