IMAGINE 2050: Murrieta protesters linked to coalition of white nationalists
Earlier this summer, anti-immigrant hysteria fueled protests in Murrieta, California, compelling news outlets to cover them and urging activists in other cities and states to follow suit. It should come as no surprise that the activists involved in organizing the protests are linked to a coalition based in Southern California that includes white nationalist, anti-Muslim and far-Right extremist groups.
These anti-immigrant activists gained notoriety after they blocked buses transporting Central American children who fled violence to Border Patrol processing facilities. Those credited in organizing and participating in the protests included Patrice Lynes, Diana Serafin, and Robin Hvidston, executive director of We the People Rising. It was later revealed Lynes and Serafin share a bigotry that is not limited to just immigrants; they have targeted Muslims as well. Hvidston also has a history of associating with groups within the organized anti-immigrant movement.
Here are some of the more notable groups that make up Unite IE:
