According to the latest ADL data, at least 12 white supremacists have been arrested for their roles in attacks or plots against the Jewish community in the U.S. in the year since the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. President Trump referred to the impeachment probe currently underway in the House as a “lynching,” drawing sharp condemnations and widespread rebuke. And Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg announced she is donating $2.5 million to support ADL’s anti-hate education programs, research and advocacy efforts.
