SPLC indicted over informant scheme

SPLC indicted over informant scheme

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche unveiled the charges against the prominent nonprofit, alleging it funneled millions to extremist groups it claimed to be fighting.

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

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has already demanded documents from the group, alleging improper coordination with the previous administration.

This indictment marks a significant escalation in the administration's campaign against progressive organizations and has drawn silence from high-profile donors like George Clooney and George Soros.
