Patriot Front's demonstrations, literature, and sometimes acts of service are "tightly choreographed and scripted to maximize propaganda value", according to the SPLC. The ADL estimated that Patriot Front generated 82% of reported incidents of distributing racist, antisemitic and other hateful propaganda in the U.S. during 2021, and 80% in 2020. According to leaked chats made public in January 2022, Patriot Front members are required to deface racial justice murals in their areas.
2019 On February 13, hundreds of racist and anti-immigrant signs and flyers were taped up in the
East Boston section of
Boston,
Massachusetts, an area with many immigrants. Patriot Front claimed responsibility. Boston mayor
Marty Walsh denounced the incident. On February 15, Boston police arrested three Patriot Front members; two faced charges of carrying weapons, and one was charged with assault on a police officer after allegedly slapping an officer's hand.
2020 On February 8, about 100 Patriot Front members marched in
Washington, D.C., along the
National Mall from the
Lincoln Memorial to the
US Capitol grounds, and then headed north to a
Walmart near
Washington Union Station. The marchers wore khakis, matching dark blue jackets, hats, full white face masks, and dark sunglasses, and carried Patriot Front and
Betsy Ross flags. In August, during protests and counter-protests in
Weatherford, Texas, over a
Confederate statue, police arrested three men including Rousseau who had plastered stickers on signs, parks and property. They were charged with criminal mischief, jailed on a $500 bond and released.
2021 On January 29, a group of men wearing khaki pants, matching blue jackets with patches, and white face masks marched on the National Mall toward the US Capitol carrying flags with Patriot Front symbolism. On February 28, seven members of the Patriot Front, including Rousseau, were involved in a car crash. One member of the group died and Rousseau was seriously injured, requiring emergency surgery. The
Utah Department of Public Safety determined that the Patriot Front's vehicle was speeding at the time of the crash. On July 10, two members were arrested for vandalism after being accused of spray-painting graffiti in
Salem, Massachusetts. On December 4, more than 100 members of Patriot Front held a rally in downtown Washington, D.C., chanting "reclaim America", carrying flags and plastic shields and wearing uniforms consisting of white gaiters, sunglasses, blue jackets, khaki pants, brown boots and hats. Some wore plastic shin guards.
2022 In January, members of Patriot Front were seen at the
2022 March for Life anti-abortion rally in Washington, D.C. On June 11, police arrested 31 members of Patriot Front they stopped inside a
U-Haul truck near an
LGBT Pride event in
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They were charged with conspiracy to riot. Rousseau was one of the members arrested. An anonymous caller tipped off police when they saw the group of men climbing into a U-Haul after retrieving shields from the back of a truck. The
Kootenai County Sheriff's Office released the mugshots and names of all 31 arrested, who were from at least 11 states. After the arrests, the Coeur d'Alene police chief said the police department received death and
doxxing threats. By June 13, all 31 members were released on bail. Court documents stated police had recovered a typed document that detailed the group's goal and planning for the day. Rousseau was granted a
continuance, with his pre-trial appearance moved from May to September 2023. Five group members were convicted of misdemeanor conspiracy to riot on July 20, 2023, and the next day sentenced to five days in jail, credited for two days already served, plus $1,000 fines and one year of probation. Rousseau's case was dismissed in November 2024. The presiding judge, Judge John Cafferty, was quoted in the
Idaho Capital Sun, "This is an important case. It should not be dismissed lightly," and cited loss of evidence and delays among the reasons behind the dismissal. On July 2, about 100 masked members with shields and a banner marched through Boston, with stops at the
Boston Public Library and
Old State House building. Police said one man was injured in a confrontation with Patriot Front members. This incident led to a lawsuit which resulted in a federal judge ordering the group to pay damages of over $2.7 million in January 2025. In May, the group marched at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Five members of the group filed a federal lawsuit in June against an alleged leftist activist they said had infiltrated the group and publicly disclosed their identities—the plaintiffs alleged they lost jobs, incomes and family relationships as a result. Two members had been arrested in connection with the 2022 conspiracy to riot at a pride event in Coeur d'Alene; one was subsequently convicted and sentenced for his role. In July 2024, Patriot Front, the
Goyim Defense League, and other white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations handed out flyers, asked passersby if they were Jewish, and disrupted a City Council meeting in
Nashville, Tennessee, waving large Confederate flags. In response, the
Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville organized a peace rally, drawing about 400 participants.
2025 On January 13, 2025, a federal judge ordered Patriot Front to pay approximately $2.7 million ($755,000 in damages and $2 million in punitive damages) to Charles M. Murrel III for violating his civil rights. The group was alleged to have attacked Murrel, a black man, on July 2, 2022, during a march by the group in Boston. On February 22, about a dozen Patriot Front members rallied near the
Massachusetts State House in Boston, apparently as a counter-protest to a group that was protesting
police brutality. Following the flash flooding that occurred at
Camp Mystic and its surrounding areas in early July, the Patriot Front claimed it was participating in disaster relief efforts and distributing aid to survivors. In a video posted to the group’s official Telegram channel, Rousseau stated they were “in central Texas, responding to the flooding, which has destroyed communities and taken the lives of scores of Americans.” He stated they were prioritizing "European peoples" when determining who would receive aid.
2026 On January 23, 2026, members of Patriot Front were reported to have attended and demonstrated at the annual March for Life near the
National Mall in
Washington, D.C. Their presence prompted counter-protests from other demonstrators, who accused the group of espousing neo-Nazi ideology. On 8 March 2026, members of the Patriot Front made a pair of appearances in
Sheboygan, Wisconsin and
Manitowoc. Later, on 12 March 2026, a counter protest occurred at Shipbuilders Park in Manitowoc in protest of the earlier presence of the Patriot Front. ==Leaked online chats==
