Researchers have warned that the informant who leaked internal documents from the white supremacist group Patriot Front could face retaliation if identified. The documents, revealed by USA Today, show that Patriot Front has over 540 members across the United States, with a goal of recruiting 600 by July 2026. Founded in 2017 after the 'Unite the Right' rally, the group has rapidly grown, particularly in states like Texas and Florida. While Patriot Front promotes a nonviolent image, its history includes violent protests and vandalism, raising concerns about the safety of the informant. Experts Daniel Byman and Luke Baumgartner noted that the group is paranoid about infiltration and may conduct an internal probe to find the leaker. They suggest that retaliation could range from intimidation to physical harm, despite the group's public stance against violence. The leaked documents reveal a troubling commitment to a white supremacist agenda, contrasting with the group's polished public image, which aims to distance itself from traditional neo-Nazi organizations.
