A report by the Anti-Defamation League reveals that Texas has become a hotbed for extremism and hate, with a heavy presence of white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ+ groups in the state. The report highlights a significant increase in antisemitic incidents, terrorist plots, and extremist events. It specifically mentions white supremacist groups like Patriot Front and the rise of neo-Nazi activity at anti-LGBTQ+ demonstrations. The report also points to the influence of anti-immigrant and "vigilante" groups along the U.S.-Mexico border.
