The Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131), a New England-based neo-Nazi group, protested on Feb. 10 outside the suburban home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, the second such incident since October. Twenty-five people, who alleged a “migrant invasion” of the state, participated in a 12-minute demonstration that night before leaving.

Photos shared on X showed people dressed in black wearing ski masks, and holding torches and a poster that said, “We’re not going anywhere.”

State troopers and members of the police department in Arlington monitored the scene but made no arrests.

According to the ADL, members of the organization “consider themselves soldiers fighting a war against a hostile, Jewish-controlled system that is deliberately plotting the extinction of the white race.”

The group previously held protests in 2022 and 2023 at hotels that offered emergency shelters to immigrants. The choice of targets expresses the neo-Nazis’ belief in the “Great Replacement Theory,” which asserts the existence of a Jewish conspiracy to replace white Americans with non-white immigrants.

“There’s no reason that the process can’t be dramatically accelerated,” Dan Schnur, a political science lecturer, told JNS.
Katie Wilson, who promised when she was running for mayor to turn off cameras, said that she made the decision after an intelligence briefing from local and federal law enforcement.

Toronto’s police chief said that there will be more barricades and officers in an effort to prevent a repeat of last year’s “gauntlet of hate” near the walk.
