White Supremacy March Could Be Hoax, Princeton Police Investigate

PRINCETON, NJ — New developments have come to light regarding Saturday's planned march by the white supremacist group the New Jersey European Heritage Association.

The New Jersey European Heritage Association — who originally posted the flyer announcing the rally — have now made an announcement saying their actions were all a hoax, Princeton Police stated Friday night.

"We are still investigating to determine the legitimacy of that claim. Our community deserves our best effort in making that determination," Princeton Police reported.

Princeton detectives will continue to investigate the situation and plan to still move ahead with "efforts to provide a safe, secure environment in Palmer Square tomorrow in light of the possibility of there still being a significant number of people on hand."

The planned march by the New Jersey European Heritage Association was advertised to be held on Saturday at noon at Palmer Square in Princeton. A counter-protest is also being planned in response by outraged activists.
