A group of about 20 neo-Nazis who marched in Madison more than a week ago appear to have been led by an out-of-state former U.S. Marine, according to organizations that monitor hate groups.
The group carried swastika flags and chanted antisemitic slogans in a route that included State Street, the Capitol and Gates of Heaven, a historic building near James Madison Park that was previously a synagogue but is now a city-owned park shelter, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
It’s not known if any of the people participating in the march were from the area, since most of them wore masks. But based on images captured by those who were there, the march’s leader was an unmasked man named Christopher Pohlhaus, also known as “Hammer.” He is a former U.S. Marine and leader of the neo-Nazi “Blood Tribe,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Attempts to find contact information for Pohlhaus were not successful.
The ADL says that in 2020, while living in San Antonio, Texas, “Pohlhaus grew an online following by selling white supremacist propaganda materials and gear, and through video-podcasts,” in which he “lectured followers about fitness and encouraged them to participate in ‘a last stand, a righteous war’ against those who ‘call for the destruction of their birthright and posterity.'”
Pohlhaus began to refer to his followers as the “Blood Tribe,” according to the ADL. By 2022, he’d moved to Maine and purchased land there for what the Southern Poverty Law Center described as a “white supremacist community that would provide a place for the Blood Tribe to network, strategize and train.” In 2023, the group began participating in anti-LGBTQ+ protests, including a protest at a July “Pride in the Park” event in Watertown, according to the ADL and the Watertown Daily Times.
At least two posts on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, reported the group traveled in a U-Haul truck and one other rental vehicle with a Kentucky license plate.
Officials with the city of Madison, the state, UW-Madison and other groups have condemned the march.
States with the most active hate groups
Where hate groups are most active
The number of active hate groups in the U.S. has been declining since 2018, a trend that may be surprising considering the fact that hate crimes are on the rise, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Furthermore, the actions of extremist groups—including those that instigated and participated in the Jan. 6 capitol insurrection—seem more visible than ever before.
But the decrease of hate groups active over the past several years does not, in fact, signal the diminishing influence of hate-fueled and extremist ideology, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks hate and extremist groups in the U.S. Instead, it indicates that public opinion on the mobilizing doctrines of these groups has undergone a significant shift: once considered fringe by the vast majority of Americans, far-right extremist ideology has begun to move into the mainstream.
This shift is far from unique to the U.S. Across the world, from France to India, increasingly far-right thinking has found footholds in more mainstream conservative politics through nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigrant policies, and calls for a return to “traditional values,” a euphemism for the maintenance of white patriarchal power. In the U.S., the increased visibility of white nationalist and antisemitic groups dovetailed with former President Trump’s emboldening support—resulting in the aforementioned attempted siege on the U.S. capitol, an event that remains mired in both legal and ideological strife.
Hate groups are defined by unifying mission statements or doctrines that hinge on contempt for a group of people, often on the basis of race, religion, or sexuality. According to the Anti-Defamation League, a group with hate-motivated individuals does not necessarily make the organization a hate group; instead, the organization must have a purpose driven by hateful ideology. Extremist groups are sometimes differentiated from hate groups in that they are defined by beliefs or goals that are outside of the mainstream, but are not necessarily motivated by hatred of a particular group.
Stacker analyzed data compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center tracking active hate groups across the country. States are ranked according to active hate groups per million residents in 2021. Most of the hate groups in the U.S. are white power groups espousing Confederate or Nazi ideology, often utilizing symbolism from those movements.
Read on to learn which states have the most active hate groups.
