The Patriot Front is one of the groups that perpetuate the conspiracy theory about the secret Democratic cabal of child sex abusers. So the emphasis here is quite relevant. It's like saying "anti-LGBTQ man arrested for soliciting gay sex" (something that also seems to happen with depressing frequency). If membership of a group is relevant to the alleged crime then or course it should be noted.
