Still, it isn’t surprising, given how anti-LGBTQ rhetoric has increasingly become a potent rallying cry in the far-right online ecosystem, Lewis said. Michael Kielty, Wagner’s attorney, said Sunday that he had not been provided information about the charges. The group came to riot around the small northern Idaho city wearing Patriot Front patches and logos on their hats and some T-shirts reading “Reclaim America” according to police and videos of the arrests posted on social media. He said Patriot Front did not have a reputation for violence and that the case could be a First Amendment issue. “That set of grievances fits into their broader narratives and shows their ability to mobilize the same folks against ‘the enemy’ over and over and over again,” he said. No attorney was immediately listed for him and phone numbers associated with him went unanswered Sunday.
Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White credited a local tipster who saw the men loading into the U-Haul and called the police.
Authorities had been aware of online threats leading up to the weekend, White said, so police had increased their presence in the city’s downtown. The chief was also quick to dispel misinformation that had already begun to circulate. Piled into the back of a U-Haul set up outside a hotel in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Saturday, they had one goal as they headed to a popular park that was hosting an LGBTQ Pride event, according to Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White. White said further charges could be added depending on what authorities find, like weapons, as they process the U-Haul and other vehicles. “It’s a disservice to American security to ignore or minimize them any more.” “People should be paying attention to these arrests far beyond Coeur d’Alene,” Ward said via email.

Members of the group were dressed similarly in khaki pants and blue shirts and were wearing hats with plastic inside them, according to the chief and video from the scene of the arrest. All 31 men have posted bond and were released from custody, per the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office. They will be due back in court at a later date. All 31 individuals were charged with conspiracy to riot, which is a misdemeanor, he said. The event was held at the Coeur d'Alene City Park Saturday and included a Pride walk and performances by local musicians, dancers and drag artists. "It is clear to us based on the gear that the individuals had with them, the stuff they had in their possession, and the U-Haul with them along with paperwork that was seized from them, that they came to riot downtown," White said. At least one of those arrested is from Idaho, investigators said.

Members of the Patriot Front were allegedly planning to disrupt a pride parade in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
White said Coeur d’Alene Police were aware of multiple groups' plans to counter-protest the festival and worked with other organizations such as the FBI in preparation for policing the event. A recent leak, however, showed that behind the scenes the group embraces neo-Nazism as well as shaming members for their porn and junk food habits. Video taken by Krem 2 News Channel shows police opening up the back of the U-Haul to show the Patriot Front members crammed closely inside with their hands already up in the air. Patriot Front members generally attempt to remain anonymous as not to be publically connected to their beliefs. According to public documents, the 31 Patriot Front members were charged with Criminal Conspiracy and held on a $300 bond. The men were all members of Patriot Front, one of America’s most infamous white nationalist organizations, and they were quickly detained.
