‘Hate-Filled’ Group Advised DOJ Prosecutors on ‘Hate Crimes,’ Docs Show
16th June 2025
“All Americans should be shocked, appalled, and terrified that the Biden Justice Department was taking advice from a hate-filled, morally bankrupt organization like the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Ian Prior, senior counselor at America First Legal, told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “The SPLC’s agenda is anti-American to its core, and we must ensure that the SPLC never regains the power that it was so wrongly granted by the woke bureaucrats who ran this country until this past January.”
On Oct. 27, 2023, Robert Moossy Jr., deputy assistant attorney general at the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, sent an email to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, head of the Civil Rights Division.
His email referenced a “Hate Crimes Symposium” at the National Advocacy Center at the National District Attorneys Association in Columbia, South Carolina on Nov. 7-9, 2023. The Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section “will hold a hate crimes symposium focusing on the investigation and prosecution of federal hate crimes.”
