"Fifty years fighting the Klan – now Trump’s DOJ targets anti-fascist investigators
The Southern Poverty Law Centre, for more than five decades devoted to tracking white supremacist and far-right extremist organistions, has pleaded not guilty to federal fraud charges brought by the Trump Justice Department.
The charges have been condemned by the SPLC’s leadership as a politically motivated assault on anti-fascist research.
The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Alabama. It charges the organisation with eleven counts including wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
SPLC interim chief executive Bryan Fair entered the not-guilty plea at a Montgomery federal court hearing on Thursday with a tentative trial date set for 5 October 2026."
