Related: About this forumFBI raid in Phillipsburg NJ targeted white supremacists
http://www.nj.com/warren/index.ssf/2017/04/fbi_raid_in_phillipsburg_targeted_white_supremacis.htmlThe FBI's early-morning raid on a Phillipsburg home targeted white supremacists, sources said.
About 50 federal agents from the FBI and other agencies surrounded the home at 487 S. Main St. at 5:45 a.m., blocking off a section of the street.
FBI offices in Newark and Philadelphia confirmed they carried out "court-authorized activity" in Phillipsburg, but deferred further comment to the US Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Sources with knowledge of the investigation said white supremacy was a focus but they weren't authorized to speak about it.
The Aryan Strikeforce was active last year in the Warren County town, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which in February released its annual list of hate groups nationwide.
In my dealings with the FBI - they do this kind of action when they either have you against the wall on major crime with national/international hooks - or you pose a threat.
Way too close to home and - I'm wondering who these Nazis were targeting.

Thanks!
ASF was at one time a part of the coalition of neo-Nazis that was put together by Matthew Heimbachs Traditionalist Worker Party and the National Socialist Movement, but it is unclear their status with that coalition today. The raid took place two days before a White Power meeting in Steuben County, New York that ASF was promoting.
Years ago when I was a road warrior - if I was heading down that way my dad would always always sat before my trip - "Remember get gas in Tompkins on your way down and Scranton on your way back."
Nothing has changed in the Southern Tier.
