Princeton PD To Boost Patrol Ahead Of Antisemitic 'Day Of Hate'

PRINCETON, NJ – The Princeton Police Department will be boosting security outside local synagogues over the next few days after neo-Nazi groups promoted an antisemitic "National Day of Hate" on social media.

“We will have an increased presence and patrols at synagogues over the next few days,” Princeton Police told Patch.

Although there have been no credible threats in the Municipality and New Jersey associated with "National Day of Hate" on Saturday, many local police departments are taking precautions and stepping up security.

The so-called Day of Hate began with an online post by a small neo-Nazi group in Iowa, a spokesperson with the Anti-Defamation League told Patch. More: Antisemitic 'Day Of Hate' Threat Mobilizes Cops Around NJ Synagogues

White supremacist groups have since circulated it online on social media sites such as Telegram, the spokesperson said.
