The total number of hate groups has fallen since 2018, when we counted a record high 1,020 active in the US. This drop results from:
1️⃣ the collapse of 2 neo-Nazi factions after leadership turmoil;
2️⃣ more far-right extremists with white supremacist views congregate online.

Yet, we have witnessed significant increases in the number of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-immigrant hate groups throughout the country, some with close ties to elected and appointed government officials, including in the Trump administration.
We counted 940 hate groups — a decrease from 2018's record high of 1,020 — operating in the US last year. Hate groups continue to maintain ties to lawmakers, including White House officials, and hate violence doesn't show any sign of stopping.

A number of anti-immigrant hate groups, including Center for Immigration Studies, have ties to lawmakers. Last year, we broke the news that #StephenMiller, architect of #Trump's cruel immigration policies, promoted a white supremacist novel and websites. splcenter.org/stephen-miller…

"Gaetz invited Chuck Johnson, a white nationalist “Trump Troll,” to Trump’s State of the Union address in January 2018. Johnson is a Holocaust denier who developed WeSearchr, a payment platform for racist “alt-right” crowdfunding."

We have never seen hate groups rise to the number they did in 2018. We just released our annual #YearinHate report, which found an all-time record high: 1,020 hate groups in the United States. #RageAgainstChange #YearInHate splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
That’s the fourth year in a row that hate groups have risen — and a 30% rise in hate groups over just the past four years. splcenter.org/hate-map
The rise in hate groups over the last four years tracks with President Trump’s penchant for fanning the flames of white racial resentment over immigration and the country’s changing demographics. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
