The Trump Administration Is Siding with Hate Groups

In a controversial move, the Trump Administration appears to be aligning with right-wing Christian groups that have long criticized the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for labeling them as hate or extremist. This alignment comes after an FBI investigation, which some speculate has led to a shift in federal policy. The SPLC has been instrumental in identifying and challenging hate groups, so this potential side-taking by the administration raises alarms about the protection and monitoring of such groups. The implications are significant, as it could embolden these groups and impact civil rights and anti-discrimination efforts nationwide.
