WASHINGTON–MoveOn Civic Action Executive Director Katie Bethell released the following statement in response to the Justice Department investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center: “The targeting of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is yet another example of the Trump administration’s extreme and unprecedented efforts to silence its critics.

The new Office of Management and Budget memo, first reported…
