+1 to this.
The militia movement was big in the early 1990s. A lot of them were either anti-gov't or white nationalist (many were both).
A racist/nativist sheriff or whatever would likely either look the other way or actively support New America cells in his jurisdiction.
So yeah, New America seems very plausible to me.
