DOJ arrests alleged white supremacists for intimidating activists and journalists: 'This is not how America works'

Four alleged white supremacists were arrested Wednesday for threatening and harassing journalists and activists in four different states, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

"These defendants from across the country allegedly conspired on the internet to intimidate journalists and activists with whom they disagreed," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers in a statement Wednesday."This is not how America works. The Department of Justice will not tolerate this type of behavior."

"The FBI recognizes all citizens' First Amendment-protected rights. However the subjects arrested today crossed the line from protected ideas and speech to action in order to intimidate and coerce individuals who they perceived as a threat to their ideology of hate," said Special Agent in Charge Raymond Duda of the Seattle FBI in Wednesday's statement.

Attorney General William Barr said in January that the Department of Justice would make anti-Semitic hate crimes a priority.
