The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is currently facing a federal criminal case and a congressional investigation regarding its financial activities and how it labels political organizations.

南方貧困法律中心 (SPLC) 目前正面臨一起聯邦刑事案件和國會調查，涉及其財務活動以及對政治組織的標記方式。

The Department of Justice has filed an 11-count indictment against the SPLC, claiming that the organization secretly transferred over $4 million in donor money to extremist groups between 2010 and 2023. Federal prosecutors argue that the SPLC used fake bank accounts to make these payments, which allegedly funded the operations of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Furthermore, it is claimed that an SPLC informant was paid a large amount of money to attend the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally. While the government describes these actions as bank fraud and deception, the SPLC emphasizes that its informant program was necessary to prevent violence.

司法部已對 SPLC 提起 11 項指控，稱該組織在 2010 年至 2023 年間，秘密將超過 400 萬美元的捐款轉移給激進組織。聯邦檢察官認為 SPLC 使用假銀行帳戶來支付這些款項，據稱資助了如三K黨（Ku Klux Klan）等組織的運作。此外，據稱 SPLC 向一名線人支付了大筆款項以參加 2017 年的「團結右翼」集會。雖然政府將這些行為描述為銀行詐欺與欺騙，但 SPLC 強調其線人計畫是為了防止暴力而必要的。

At the same time, the House Judiciary Committee has started an investigation into the SPLC's relationship with the Biden administration. Republican lawmakers are concerned that federal agencies used the SPLC's 'hate map' to target and marginalize conservative organizations. During a recent hearing, interim CEO Bryan Fair refused to change the classification of Turning Point USA as an extremist group, asserting that the organization's language justifies this label. Consequently, some legislators have proposed removing the SPLC's tax-exempt status.

與此同時，眾議院司法委員會已開始調查 SPLC 與拜登政府之間的關係。共和黨議員擔心聯邦機構利用 SPLC 的「仇恨地圖」來針對並邊緣化保守派組織。在最近的一次聽證會中，臨時執行長 Bryan Fair 拒絕更改 Turning Point USA 作為激進組織的分類，堅稱該組織的言論證明了此標籤的正當性。因此，部分立法者建議取消 SPLC 的免稅地位。

Meanwhile, the SPLC has published its 2025 'Year in Hate and Extremism' report. This report suggests that the current administration has allowed far-right interests to influence federal government operations. The SPLC points to the reassignment of 23% of FBI staff to immigration enforcement and the appointment of officials with racist views as evidence of this shift. Additionally, the report notes that the administration labeled four left-wing military groups as foreign terrorist organizations after talking with conservative influencers.

同時，SPLC 發表了 2025 年的《仇恨與激進主義年度報告》。該報告指出，現任政府允許極右翼利益影響聯邦政府的運作。SPLC 將 23% 的 FBI 員工被重新調派至移民執法部門，以及任命持有種族主義觀點的官員，視為此轉變的證據。此外，報告指出政府在與保守派影響力人士交流後，將四個左翼軍事組織標記為外國恐怖組織。

The SPLC continues to face federal charges and congressional oversight while it continues to publish reports criticizing the government's domestic policies.

SPLC 繼續面臨聯邦指控與國會監督，同時持續發表報告批評政府的國內政策。
