When it rains, it pours. Just ask the embattled Southern Poverty Law Center.
The hyper-progressive nonprofit came under intense scrutiny this week when the Department of Justiceannouncedon Tuesday that the activist group had been issued an 11-count indictment by a federal grand jury in Alabama.
The charges alleged that the SPLC — an advocacy entity that purports to combat “hate” — had actually spent years funneling money into the very groups it’s supposed to be pushing back against, like the Ku Klux Klan.

“Today, a grand jury in Alabama returned an 11-count indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche posted to X. “[The SPLC] stands accused of manufacturing and creating the very extremism it purports to oppose.
“Instead of dismantling extremism, [the SPLC] was funding it.”
Blanche ended his post with, “Today is just the beginning, stay tuned.”
Turns out that Blanche was right — Tuesday was just the beginning for the SPLC.
On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee sent aletterto SPLC President Bryan Fair letting him know that it’s not just the Justice Department looking into his organization.
