Before entering politics, he was a lawyer, he is known for his political writings, including the ideological book Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, published in 1948 under the pen name Ulick Varange. When he was a member of the Democratic Party he was seen as the leader of it's far-right faction, also known as the ANP (American Nationalist Party) and has been involved in multiple controversies which ultimately led up to his arrest for alleged involvement in the ANP plot to coup the government and start an insurrection/rebellion.
Early Life

He began study as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, then to transfer to Georgetown University, before completing at the University of Arizona, before starting law school at Northwestern University, also studied law at De Paul University, and graduated from the Notre Dame Law School in 1941. In college, he declared he would not dine with black, Jewish or communist students.
Alleged involvement in ANP plot
Yockey was arrested for alleged involvement in the ANP plot to coup the government and start an insurrection/rebellion. Many ANP members were convicted of treason, but due to lack of evidence he has been kept on hold. Francis Parker Yockey has continuously denied taking part of any of these plans of a violent coup and has said he merely advocates for a legal process for a secession amendment going through congress, it is likely this conspiracy was a bottom-up conspiracy and and not a top-down, where many members of the ANP made plans the leadership was not aware of and were egged on by federal informants. There is much controversy and speculation surrounding these events and the role of Francis Parker Yockey is unclear.
