SPLC indicted by DOJ

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche unveiled the indictment, claiming the SPLC financed hate groups it purported to monitor.

Civil rights leaders have condemned the move as 'nakedly political' and an attempt to dismantle advancements in social justice.

A coalition of over 100 activist groups has vowed solidarity with the SPLC, preparing for a protracted legal battle.

Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers like Jim Jordan are demanding further documentation, alleging the group colluded with the previous administration.
