Exposed? Florida targets SPLC for allegedly ‘manufacturing’ racism with paid informants
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has opened a civil investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), centering on allegations of deceptive fundraising and unfair trade practices.
The state issued a subpoena duces tecum on May 4, 2026, ordering the Alabama-based non-profit to hand over a massive cache of internal documents by May 25. The move marks a significant escalation in tensions between Florida officials and the organization, which is well-known for its “hate map” and tracking of extremist groups.
The investigation focuses on how the SPLC solicits money from Florida donors and whether those funds are being used as advertised. Specifically, the state is looking into an “informant program” mentioned by the SPLC’s own leadership in recent weeks.
