Chicago police are urging Jewish and other religious communities to be extra vigilant this weekend when a neo-Nazi group has declared a “day of hate.”
The online messages by hate groups prompted the police department’s 24th District Place of Worship Safety Advisory Team to issue a community alert this week.
Goldenberg said there has been an increase in the past few years in white supremacist and extremist networks popularizing “dedicated days of action.” He said it’s not uncommon for those groups to document actions taken on such days. Across Chicago, hate crimes reached an 11-year high last year, according to police data. In 2022, 38 of the 202 total reported hate crimes were against Jewish people, making anti-Semitic hate crimes second behind anti-Black hate crimes.
