Southern California white nationalist leaders arrested; private messages show effort to 'reimagine' movement
Private messages between group leaders, members and associates show an effort to keep their violent intentions secret, according to an FBI affidavit attached to the complaint. Daley urged members in one 2016 phone call to attend events wearing polo-style shirts and khakis, and to get military-style haircuts.
In an August 2017 exchange with someone considering joining the group, Daley said the individual would have to "change your [style] up a bit when your with us." The associate said he could grow out his hair and drop the "boots and braces look," the affidavit said. Daley responded: "think its time to reimagine the nationalist look and playbook, we have become predictable that needs to change.” He told another associate to keep a low profile on social media.
