The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces challenges in its mission to monitor hate groups in California amid a resurgence of far-right extremism in the state. Recent data indicates that there are nearly 100 identified hate and anti-government groups operating in California, which include a range of organizations such as anti-vaccine activists, doomsday prepper militias, and traditional neo-Nazi groups. This increase in extremist activity has raised concerns among experts who track these movements, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance and documentation of hate-related incidents. The SPLC, based in Alabama, has been a key player in this monitoring effort for years.
