Irish Far-right Hate and Extremist Groups is one of the first country reports in a series that GPAHE will release throughout 20, including reports covering far-right movements in Australia, Italy, and France to be released later this year. The report shows that some of Ireland’s far-right groups are influenced by American far-right extremists and are actively engaged with other extremist groups in Europe. For instance, Gemma O’Doherty and John Waters, leaders of Anti-Corruption Ireland, have attended events put on by the Irish Council for Human Rights, an anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ group.Īnother example is, The Irish Freedom Party gained exposure to a wider audience after aligning with the anti-lockdown Yellow Vests Ireland movement. The report shows communication and coordination between some of the groups.

Just recently, Deputy Inspector James Kobel resigned from the NYPD while facing an investigation that concluded he was the author of racist online posts on an NYPD message board. FBI and DHS officials have recently cited the increasing “ lethality” of threats by white supremacist extremists.Įven in the NYPD, the most diverse police force in the country, officers might support or associate with right-wing extremists. Further, the FBI and researchers on the far-right movements in the United States have stated that white supremacists have active links with law enforcement. Last year, the Center for Investigative Reporting found that many law enforcement officers were members of extremist groups on Facebook. Some far-right groups such as the Oath Keepers openly identify themselves as current members of law enforcement. Troublingly, we are likely to find officers with such ties everywhere, including in New York. A California department has already taken action to remove an officer for displaying such ties. We must remove any officers with membership or ties to those groups from their departments. Such extremist groups advocate violence and believe in virulent forms of white nationalism. We must also investigate police for officers with ties to militias, extremists and domestic terror groups.

State Attorney General Letitia James has sued the NYPD to install a federal monitor to oversee the NYPD because of abuses during last year’s protests. He also noted that “anyone who expresses white supremacist views shouldn’t be a police officer, anyone who encourages violence against our democratic institutions shouldn’t be a police officer.” After dismissing a member of the FDNY for joining the riot, Mayor de Blasio rightfully said that any public employee who took part will be terminated. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea has signaled investigations into whether NYPD officers were present.
