ILHundreds of members of the US white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through parts of Washington, DC, on July 4, 2026, wearing masks and uniforms associated with the group. They traveled by Metro train and gathered near the US Capitol and Union Station, carrying flags including Confederate banners and chanting 'Reclaim America.' The group, which split from the Vanguard America white supremacist group after the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, claims to represent mainstream values but promotes white supremacist and anti-immigrant ideologies. Metropolitan Police monitored the event but reported no arrests or incidents. Experts noted the timing of the demonstration during Independence Day highlights ongoing concerns about white supremacy in the US.
