This is the second time the neo-Nazi group NSC-131 has protested outside Healey’s house since October.
A local neo-Nazi group protested outside of Governor Maura Healey’s home over the weekend, marking the second time the group has turned up at the governor’s residence since October.
Approximately 25 members of the neo-Nazi organization Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131) gathered across the street from Healey’s home in Arlington at around 6:40 p.m. Saturday, State Police spokesperson Dave Procopio said in a statement. The group is a New England-based, self-described neo-Nazi organization that “seeks to form an underground network of white men who are willing to fight against their perceived enemies through localized direct actions,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.
“Their demonstration lasted for approximately 12 minutes and the group dispersed,” Procopio said. “MSP Troopers on scene, with assistance from Arlington Police, monitored the situation; no arrests were made.”
“We thank law enforcement for their commitment to ensuring that all communities in our state are safe from hate groups of this kind,” a spokesperson for Healey’s office said, adding that the group dispersed “quickly.”
