White Supremacist Propaganda Focused on Jews and Immigrants in 2024
belief that Americans of European ancestry have an exclusive right to live in the U.S. with slogans such as “keep America American,” “deport them all” and “deport invaders.” Propaganda from the NJEHA urged people to report “illegal aliens” to U.S. Immigration and Customs. Another called for the arrest of “sanctuary mayors.”
Both the Active Club and WLM networks also increased their focus on anti-immigrant themes in their propaganda. The networks referred to the presence of immigrants and refugees in America as “an invasion,” with phrases such as “stop the invasion” and “remove all invaders.” Several WLM chapters distributed propaganda using the white supremacist slogan “Auslander Raus!” which translates to “foreigners out.”
The ADL Center on Extremism also tracked an uptick in anti-immigrant propaganda from both the American Freedom Party (AFP) and American Blackshirts in 2024. Many stickers and posters distributed by the groups had slogans such as “Invaders are here for conquest, not asylum,” “Smash immigration, invaders get out,” “America for Americans! Invaders Out!” and “It’s not immigration it’s an invasion.”
Other Findings
Though the narratives described above were used the most in white supremacist propaganda last year, white supremacists still distributed anti-LGBTQ+ and racist propaganda in 2024. For example, on May 10, 2024, WLM and GDL both distributed propaganda that read: “Every Single Aspect of the LGBTQ+ Movement is Jewish” in Three Rivers, Michigan. The Aryan Freedom Network also distributed fliers that read “Straight Pride” with their typical recruitment fliers during Pride Month.
In addition to the racist and anti-immigrant propaganda campaigns targeting the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, white supremacist propaganda containing overt racism persisted in 2024. For example, on April 24, 2024, two individuals associated with WLM held a demonstration outside of an elementary school holding signs that read, “End Black Violence! Protect White Children!” The group also distributed white supremacist propaganda nearby that read: “White Lives Matter,” “Stop White Replacement” and “Make White Children.”
Additionally, on July 9, 2024, residents in several neighborhoods across Johnson County, Indiana, were targeted with racist stickers from the neo-Nazi group, National Alliance that read: “NA [National Alliance] Health Warning #1 for White women and girls. Straight Black males are infected with HIV at a rate over 19 times the rate of straight White males. The media won’t warn you, but the National Alliance will.”
White supremacist propaganda referencing alleged crimes committed against white people by Black people also remained popular. For example, in June 2024, after a period of inactivity, Eastern NC Active Club began distributing unique WLM stickers memorializing victims of alleged crimes with white victims and alleged Black perpetrators.
