White supremacy groups have been an ongoing issue in the United States for a long time, in recent news a group of white supremacists in Utah have been arrested for drug and gun charges. Both Fox News and CNN report on this. CNN published their article October 17th, titled, " Prosecutors in Utah file drug trafficking charges against alleged 'white supremacist gang' members." CNN's article is short and explains that 18 individuals were arrested for 3 different white supremist groups. 1.65 pounds of meth was discovered and one heroin dealer. Fox News reports on the 18th titled, "21 members of white supremacy groups in Utah arrested on drug, gun charges." Fox News goes on to report the same but more numbers, they also include women in the group, though there are no names listed. They continue to remark that the groups in Utah have larger ties to the bigger supremacists groups in the nation. The biggest difference comes at the end, Fox reports that Attorney John Huber claims this was not because of a reaction to the protests against racial injustice and police protests, but as a way to show the world that Utah does not tolerate white supremacist's. It will be interesting to see if any more reports are made by either source.
