“We will never know how many of the 182 illegal alien murderers now in the Georgia prison system could have been snagged before they killed innocent Georgians if not for the well-funded, anti-enforcement SPLC lobbying operation,” King told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Friday.”
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Southern Poverty Law Center has repeatedly opposed Georgia bills that would require local law enforcement to report illegal aliens to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they are charged with or convicted of other crimes. This activism has drawn renewed scrutiny in the wake of Laken Riley’s killing, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien who appears to have slipped through the justice system, and amid a defamation lawsuit against the SPLC.
D.A. King, a Georgia immigration activist who founded a pro-immigration enforcement organization called the Dustin Inman Society, noted that the SPLC opposed two laws that would have improved communication between local law enforcement and ICE.
King is currently suing the Southern Poverty Law Center for defamation after the group branded his organization an “anti-immigrant hate group” in 2018, around the same time the SPLC registered a lobbyist to oppose an immigration enforcement bill King supported.
“We will never know how many of the 182 illegal alien murderers now in the Georgia prison system could have been snagged before they killed innocent Georgians if not for the well-funded, anti-enforcement SPLC lobbying operation,” King told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Friday.
SPLC registered a lobbyist to oppose SB 452, a bill that would have required courts to check whether, when sentencing a defendant convicted of a felony, that person is also an illegal alien.
The SPLC joined with the organization Project South in opposing the bill, calling it unconstitutional. Project South claimed that law enforcement would violate the Fourth Amendment by detaining illegal aliens “without a judicial warrant or probable cause” after they served time for other crimes.
According to King, the legislation “would have added increased protection in our public safety laws aimed at the organized crime that is illegal immigration.”
Naomi Tsu, an SPLC attorney at the time, registered as a lobbyist on March 1, 2018, three days after SB 452 passed the Georgia Senate. King argues that the SPLC’s activism helped torpedo the measure, which failed in the Georgia House of Representatives.
King also complains that Tsu tried to steal his phone. (The Daily Signal reached out to Muslim Advocates, where Tsu serves as a litigation consultant, for comment.)
In 2020, the SPLC also opposed HB 1083, a bill that would have given Georgia citizens injured by criminal illegal aliens—or Georgia families of those killed by them—the ability to sue local governments with so-called “sanctuary” policies for damages.
Before the Southern Poverty Law Center registered Tsu as a lobbyist against SB 452 in 2018, the SPLC told The Associated Press that it didn’t consider King’s organization to be a “hate group.” Yet after Tsu opposed King’s bill, the SPLC branded the Dustin Inman Society an “anti-immigrant hate group.”
As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” the SPLC took the program it used to monitor the Ku Klux Klan and weaponized it against mainstream conservative and Christian organizations, putting them on a “hate map” with Klan chapters. The SPLC “hate map” includes immigration reform organizations such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform and the Center for Immigration Studies.
Laken Riley
Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University, disappeared last month after she went on a run on the University of Georgia campus in Athens, where she had graduated. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, an illegal alien from Venezuela, faces multiple charges of murder and assault in Riley’s slaying. Authorities said there is no evidence that Ibarra knew Riley.
Ibarra entered the U.S. illegally in El Paso, Texas, on Sept. 8, 2022, with his wife and her son seeking asylum, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Authorities released him “for further processing,” the New York Post reported…

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 15:23:37 +0000https://newdustininmansociety.org/?p=9309I have been working on the assumption that SPLC first made their designation of DIS as “an anti-immigrant hate group…” for the year 2018 and made that designation public in Feb. or March of 2019 on the “hate map” and in the Intelligence Report (which I have learned is no longer published as of Sept.

I have been working on the assumption that SPLC first made their designation of DIS as “an anti-immigrant hate group…” for the year 2018 and made that designation public in Feb. or March of 2019 on the “hate map” and in the Intelligence Report (which I have learned is no longer published as of Sept. 2019).
If they are accurate and I am correct, it looks like SPLC did it twice, but in different places for the same year(2018). First in Feb. 2018 on the online hate map and again in the Intelligence Report a year later in the Spring edition of Intelligence Report.
“…the Intelligence Report published in 2018 do not mention Plaintiffs, and the (DAK/DIS) Complaint refers to “Intelligence Reports” published in 2020 and 2021, but SPLC ceased publishing the Intelligence Report after September 10, 2019, and instead published its annual hate group designations in annual issues of The Year in Hate and Extremism. In SPLC’s responses below, “Relevant Intelligence and Year in Hate Reports” shall refer to the Intelligence Report, Spring 2019// Issue 166, (SPLC0000272-SPLC0000344); The Year in Hate & Extremism: 2019 (page 5, Verified SPLC Response to Interrogatories).
It is confusing to see that the online history (WayBack Machine/WBM) shows that SPLC had listed DIS on the online “hate map” in Feb. 2018 but that SPLC says it was Spring, 2019 before the 2018 smear was put in the Intelligence Report, which I think was both online and hard copy.
“Anti-immigrant groups in Georgia – none on the SPLC page for Feb 18, 2018. But DIS does appear on the same online hate map on the WBM Feb 24, 2018 page.
The current online version of the SPLC page listing DIS as an “anti-immigrant hate group” has four bullet points on the bottom that were not included in the original Feb. 2018 smear (see below).
* “In March 2018, King retweeted an account that shared a screenshot of the tweet that got it suspended: “Friendly reminder that Muslims murder gay people.” He has continued to retweet accounts including CIS and Roosh, “one of the most public and reviled online misogynists,” in 2018.
* In July 2018, Krikorian cited a DIS blog written by King in July 2018. Krikorian quoted King, explaining Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidates have shied away from speaking about “criminal illegal aliens.” King posted Krikorian’s blog the next day on his Facebook, saying, “Many thanks to my friend Mark Krikorian.” King regularly refers to “criminal illegal aliens” as “crimigrants.”
* Also, in July, King posted a graphic with DIS’s logo “VIVA ZERO TOLERANCE! America First! … Deport illegal alien families together.”
* In October 2018, he encouraged people to contact their representatives about foreign nationals being able to vote at Georgia polls with temporary driver’s licenses.”

The anti-enforcement Southern Poverty Law Center saysthey are “partnering with Latinx voting rights groups, as it has for several election cycles, to help fund their efforts. Leading those efforts is the Vote Your Voice initiative, a partnership between the SPLC and the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.”
The SPLC, with holdings in excess of $750 million, has pledged $100 million to support ‘Vote Your Voice’ through 2032. Much of the SPLC money is reportedly held in off-shore accounts.
The groups are “racing to meet the challenges.” The apparently oppressed factions are “standing up new efforts” to oppose what is described as “shadowy disinformation spread on social media and elsewhere that seems designed to discourage Latinx voters.” We don’t see any examples.
The SPLC-funded special interests are “conducting surveys of the “Latinx” electorate to better learn what policies and initiatives most energize them.” We are aware of one such survey which was sent out by the militant anti-enforcement GALEO Inc. led by former MALDEF lobbyist Jerry Gonzalez.
Information on the GALEO poll can be seen here. The left-wing AJC newspaper helps out with awareness and response.
Also funded by Coca Cola and other sympathetic companies in corporate Georgia, GALEO Inc. has pushed for foreign language voting in Georgia for years.
Related: A beginner’s guide to GALEO from 2015 when a GALEO board member was on his way to a lifetime seat on the federal bench
The SPLC says the groups they are funding are working to distribute information on voting in Spanish in the many jurisdictions that do not already accommodate foreign language voting. Formerly a Republican stronghold, the now Democrat-run, metro-Atlanta County of Gwinnett is the only county in Georgia required to do so by federal law.
State sponsored foreign language voter videos
Because so few American voters are aware, we note that foreign language voter prep was a taxpayer-funded effort by then Secretary of State Brian Kemp before he was elected to his current gig as Georgia governor.
We also note that the SPLC seems to regard a voting security law as “anti-voter” and immigration enforcement laws as “anti-immigrant.”
The SPLC is soon on its way to the U.N. to share recommendations on prisons, “voter suppression” and “hate.”

The headline on a 2006 “blurb” entry on an SPLC webpage screams “Former bookie stirs up anti-immigrant passions.” They were referring to me. If I had seen this before yesterday, I don’t remember it. As part of the beginning of the pending court action against the Southern Poverty Law Center, my lawyers have *apparently been sent an “index of initial disclosures” from the SPLC. I am still learning terms here but the index I see is a list of attacks one over the years from the SPLC hate merchants in Montgomery. *Correction Aug 4, 2023: I am now informed that the list was created by a staffer on my legal team and did not come from the SPLC. My error. dak
The blurb leads to a 2006 news article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution back when that shrinking, liberal newspaper still had some integrity. The “former bookie” description is a reference to my 1977 guilty plea to charges of illegal gambling. I was taking bets on sports. In the mid 1970’s. The penalty for the gambling plea was a $3000 fine and 2 years of probation, which was terminated early. The AJC knew about this only because I told their reporters, Jim Tharpe and Carlos Campos. A story for another time.
While it’s only one of many examples, the SPLC headline serves to illustrate how they have based their attacks on us by simply changing the words “illegal immigrant” (I usually say “illegal alien”) to merely “immigrant.” The headline on the AJC report was “Warrior against illegals lives, breathes the issue.” The sub-headline read “Cobb man quit job to become full-time activist.” Not exactly what most readers would regard as “anti-immigrant hate” or denigrating all immigrants, which the SPLC says we do here at DIS. It’s a lie, of course.
If you take the time to read the original AJC report you see various quotes from me and descriptions of my/our work and mission by AJC reports and editors that always clearly indicate the battle against illegal immigration while pointing at illegal aliens and illegal employment.
“Whether on the streets or in the halls of the Georgia Capitol, fighting illegal immigration is a way of life for D.A. King.

The 53-year-old Cobb County man quit his job selling medical insurance three years ago to become a self-educated activist against illegal immigration. Dismissed as a fringe figure by critics, King has forced his way into an influential role in this year’s debate over a legislative crackdown on illegals.”

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A federal court in Alabama refused to dismiss defamation claims filed by the Dustin Inman Society, a nonprofit promoting immigration law enforcement, against the Southern Poverty Law Center, which allegedly designated the nonprofit as an “anti-immigration hate group” and said its principal “focuses on vilifying all immigrants.” The court finds the defamation claims plausible.

Georgia’s only pro-enforcement immigration group announces expanded legal team
Re: Donald A. King and Dustin Inman Society v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc
Marietta, GA: D.A. King, president of the Dustin Inman Society (DIS) today announced the newly formed legal team as counsel defending against accusations from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which defamed the organization and King by labeling King as leader of an “anti-immigrant hate group that denigrates all immigrants.”
The nationwide public interest religious civil liberties law firm Liberty Counsel has joined the legal team as counsel defending the Dustin Inman Society (DIS) and its founder and president, D.A. King.
Todd McMurtry, a partner in Hemmer Wessels McMurtry PLLC. will be co-counsel on the legal team. McMurtry is a nationally recognized defamation attorney.
James McKoon, of McKoon and Gamble law firm in Phenix City, Alabama, will serve as local counsel. McKoon initially filed this lawsuit against the SPLC.
In Donald A. King and Dustin Inman Society v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc., U.S. District Judge W. Keith Watkins denied the SPLC’s motion to dismiss the case in April 2023. This now becomes the first “hate group” defamation case against the SPLC that will move forward with discovery.
“It came as quite a surprise to the proud immigrants on our diverse board of advisors and our immigrant supporters to learn that the SPLC uses their vast wealth and influence with the media to convince the world that we somehow hate immigrants” remarked DIS president, D.A. King. “More so considering that in 2011 the SPLC informed the Associated Press that we did not fit the SPLC’s own definition of “anti-immigrant hate group” for their ridiculous, annual “hate map” several years earlier. But that was before they started lobbying against immigration enforcement legislation in Georgia.”
“We are proud to be actively pro-enforcement on immigration. The record shows that the SPLC takes an anti-enforcement position on the issue. It seems they hate their political opposition and are willing to prove it,” says King.
King expressed concern for his personal safety and that of his family due to the reputation of SPLC supporters and staff for violence against political opponents.
