The sheriff told us he believes hate groups like these aren't common here in Riverside County, but he wants to keep the problem from getting worse.

Bullshit.
I live in the low-desert near this high-desert area in Riverside County and saw the reports come in on local news as this story unfolded... this is just ONE of MANY such groups just in this local area - and it's growing. This may be one of the largest, but it's definitely no where near uncommon.
Just take your kid to the park... catch a local ballgame... watch the wanted photos on the local news at night... you'll see that it is growing. You'll see the tattoos on the arms of the fathers pushing their kids on the swings... you'll see the t-shirts and jackets with hate symbols and phrases...
Unfortunately it's all around us - we sometimes just don't notice it. My own sister married a guy into our family who's arms are filled with prison tats of swastikas, white pride, 100% honky and other "lovely" hate-filled sentiments... at their daughter's first birthday party we left early after seeing all his friends show up with matching tattoos and values. I worry about how she'll grow up...
It's embarassing and horrible to think of someone like that being in my own family... but I bring it up to let everyone know - it could be closer to you than you think.
No. We didn't learn a damned thing 60 years ago - and I don't think we ever will.

But while that is a reminder of how far we've come these arrests remind us how far we have to go.

Very true.
