GPAHE Brings You the Latest News in Far-Right Hate and Extremism

Project 2025 Is Here: March 4th

This week, we look at an ICE attorney who resigned so he could tell Congress the agency is training cadets to break the law, federal agents in San Diego who detained church volunteers for praying in a hallway, and a pattern of Native American citizens getting grabbed by officers who don’t know what a tribal ID is. All three trace back to Project 2025.

Our blog series provides essential updates on how Project 2025’s authoritarian blueprint is being enacted. Now you can view all of our Project 2025 blog posts in one convenient place on our website, including our Project 2025 page in Spanish to ensure broader access for Spanish-speaking audiences following these developments. We encourage you to explore this series to stay informed, engaged, and up to date on how this agenda continues to unfold.

New from GPAHE: Alliance Defending Freedom Backs Musk as Grok Faces Sexualized Images Scandal

Alliance Defending Freedom International has aligned itself with Elon Musk in X’s legal battle against the fine imposed under the EU’s Digital Services Act, even as Grok faces mounting international investigations over sexualized deepfake images, including of minors. The first penalty issued under the DSA cited transparency failures and deceptive platform practices, but ADFI framed the sanction as an assault on “free speech.” Its intervention comes amid findings that Grok generated sexualized content involving children. The support underscores a striking contradiction for an organization that brands itself as a defender of women, children, and “family values,” while backing a company under global scrutiny for AI-generated exploitation content and resisting regulatory efforts aimed at curbing disinformation and abuse.

New from GPAHE: Violent Islamophobe Tommy Robinson Allowed Entry Into the United States

Anti-Muslim extremist Tommy Robinson has been allowed entry into the United States despite a record of criminal convictions, violence, and immigration violations that previously kept him out. The founder of the far-right English Defence League has past assault convictions and ties to movements that have inspired terrorist violence, including admiration from the neo-Nazi Norwegian mass shooter, who murdered 77 people in an attack fueled by Islamophobia in 2011. After years of failed visa attempts, and a prior illegal entry using a false passport, Robinson now claims allies close to Trump helped secure his admission. Since arriving, he has appeared alongside figures such as Kari Lake and Michael Flynn while launching a media campaign to boost his far-right organizing in the UK. His arrival raises urgent questions about who our government believes “align with American values” when granting access to our country.

New from GPAHE: Old Tactics, New Techniques: The Structural Danger of Far-Right Networks

As Australia moves to ban neo-Nazi groups like Thomas Sewell’s National Socialist Network under sweeping new anti-hate legislation, the case highlights a broader structural challenge: far-right movements increasingly outlive the organizations that carry their names. From Sewell’s ties to figures like Mark Collett to the decentralized Active Club model advanced by Robert Rundo, contemporary extremist organizing relies on transnational digital networks, shared propaganda, and locally run groups that can dissolve, rebrand, and regroup under legal pressure. Formal bans may dismantle a group’s public identity, but the underlying infrastructure often remains intact, allowing recruitment and radicalization to continue.
