Neo-Nazi Group 'The Base' Regroups Under New Leadership Following U.S. Policy Shifts

Far-right extremist group takes advantage of reduced federal focus on domestic terrorism after Trump administration reforms FBI priorities.

The Base, a neo-Nazi paramilitary group, is rebuilding its ranks in the U.S. and globally after years of disruption by law enforcement.
The group's resurgence coincides with the Trump administration's reduced emphasis on policing far-right extremism and the appointment of Kash Patel as FBI director.
Audio from a presumed new leader calls for covert action and armed cell preparations, emphasizing a 'military solution' over political engagement.
Founder Rinaldo Nazzaro, based in Russia, has been recruiting members and offering paramilitary training to former military personnel in the Pacific Northwest.
Experts warn that the group's activities, including propaganda and weapon acquisition, signal a heightened domestic terror threat under the current administration's policies.
