FBI Severs Ties With ADL, SPLC

News summary

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the bureau has severed partnerships with both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, saying their 'glossary' and 'hate map' are partisan and make them unfit for FBI collaboration. Patel criticized prior ADL ties from the Comey era and said the bureau will no longer rely on politicized outside intelligence, framing the move as part of an effort to combat alleged anti‑Christian bias. The decision followed a conservative backlash — including criticism from Elon Musk and other MAGA allies — over ADL and SPLC listings that included Turning Point USA; the ADL removed its Glossary of Extremism and Hate after the dispute. The SPLC defended its long record of tracking hate, while reporting noted questions about whether TPUSA remained in the SPLC database and that the FBI said it had not maintained contact regarding TPUSA before Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
