SPLC Under DOJ Investigation

Interim CEO Bryan Fair stated that the SPLC will not be intimidated by what it views as a politically motivated inquiry by the Trump administration.

Republicans have long criticized the civil rights group for its designations of certain conservative and Christian organizations as hate groups.

The investigation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the administration and prominent advocacy organizations.

Legal experts suggest the probe could lead to charges related to the methods used by the SPLC to infiltrate and track radical movements.
