FBI raid in Phillipsburg NJ targeted white supremacists [View all]
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.
