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.
Specifically, the number of anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups rose 43% in 2019. The hate groups Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom and Liberty Counsel have all played a part in rolling back federal protections for LGBTQ+ people.
The number of anti-immigrant groups in the US grew by 18% last year. These groups — including Center for Immigration Studies & Federation for American Immigration Reform — have ties to this administration, including #Trump aide #StephenMiller. splcenter.org/stephen-miller…
