I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we thank You for this defamation case. Hold the SPLC accountable for its words, and restore the reputations of those the organization has slandered.

Having slanderously attacked countless conservative and Christian groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center might now be held accountable for its actions.

From Breitbart. A pro-American activist in Georgia has won a critical battle against the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for labeling his group an “anti-immigrant hate group” in 2018.

The Daily Signal reports that the SPLC asked for a dismissal of activist D.A. King’s defamation suit against them, which a federal judge denied Friday.

“I’m going to get discovery on the SPLC [email records] and I can’t get the grin off my face,” King told Breitbart News. …

King founded the Dustin Inman Society in Georgia to fight back against the establishment’s welcome for illegal migration. …

He is suing the SPLC over the hate group claim, and is seeking damages plus “an apology, public apology or retraction.”

He is raising the funds needed to review the so-far hidden emails.

In 2011, the very wealthy SPLC declined to classify his work as hateful towards migrants “because he is fighting, working on his legislation through the political process,” according to the lawsuit.

But the SPLC reversed its claim in 2018. …

“The SPLC has classified us as an ‘anti-immigrant hate group’ — that came as quite a shock to the immigrants on my [group’s] board and in my family,” he added. …

The SPLC’s claim has damaged him, King said:

Clearly, the intent was to drive legislators away from me. [The “hate” claim] gives them an excuse to not go near me or the immigration issue. Nobody wants to be called an anti-immigrant racist hater, and if they’re cowards, they’ll go to great lengths to not be called that. …

The SPLC has long been criticized by mainstream activists, partly because its reports have spurred at least one murderous attack on a conservative group. …

The case is King v. Southern Poverty Law Center, No. 2:22-CV-207-WKW, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.

Thank you for making us aware of an organization that I had never heard of. I clicked on the link to their website to discover the origin of it. Here is part of their write up-

Dustin Inman was one of the un-counted thousands of Americans who have needlessly lost their lives because government in America refuses to secure American borders or enforce American immigration and employment laws. Dustin Inman was a sixteen-year-old American boy killed by an illegal alien in a senseless traffic collision on Father’s Day weekend … a speeding vehicle driven by Harrell-Gonzalez hurtled into the rear of the Inman family’s car while it was stopped at a red light in Ellijay, Georgia …
When she regained consciousness after five weeks in a coma, Kathy learned of the death of her son and that because of spinal injuries received in the wreck that killed him, she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Because of their injuries in the wreck, Kathy and Billy were not able to attend their only son’s funeral.

Father, I pray that Your will be done in this case and that the SPLC will be held accountable by rule of law as they are held accountable by You!
I declare and decree victory in this case and that You will receive all honor and glory due Your Name!
For too long, the SPLC has been a sword in the hands of those who desired to make war against You and Your people.
That sword is about to be shattered by Your power!
I pray that You will use this as proof of Who You are and that many will come to faith in You through Messiah Yeshua.
I Yeshua’s Name. Amen!
