All 31 white nationalists who were arrested Saturday for allegedly planning a riot at an Idaho Pride event have bonded out of jail, police said Sunday.
The men, all believed to be part of Patriot Front, were arrested after cramming into a U-Haul packed with riot gear, a smoke grenade and paperwork police say appeared to be an operations plan for their attack on Coeur d’Alene’s Pride in the Park event.
Among them was 23-year-old Thomas Ryan Rousseau, identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the founder of Patriot Front after the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va. Other arrests included Kieran Morris, Garret Garland and Mitchell Wagner, all identified by the SPLC as active members of hate groups. Wagner was arrested for felony first-degree property damage in March after allegedly defacing a Black history mural at Washington University in St. Louis.
