Jon Minadeo II, the controversial founder of the Goyim Defense League, is facing a federal lawsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
According to the Press Democrat, the suit accuses Minadeo and his associates of committing violent hate crimes, specifically citing an alleged assault on a biracial man during a neo-Nazi rally in Nashville, Tennessee, in July 2024. Minadeo, who has a history of promoting antisemitic propaganda, has recently resurfaced in the Petaluma area.
The lawsuit aims to challenge his group’s operations and widespread distribution of hate literature.
