White supremacists’ July 4 march counts as free speech, US interior secretary says

US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that federal officials had no grounds to prevent a white supremacist group, Patriot Front, from holding a July 4 rally in Washington due to free speech protections. The group, which promotes anti-immigrant and white supremacist ideologies, marched through the National Mall and used public transit systems. While acknowledging the group's views as disagreeable, Burgum emphasized that such expressions are constitutionally protected, even if they challenge democratic norms. The Patriot Front's manifesto argues that democracy has failed and advocates for a 'hard reset' based on traditional values. The event highlights ongoing debates over the limits of free speech versus public safety and societal cohesion.
