ACTIVE ANTIGOVERNMENT
GROUPS BY STATE

THE INTELLIGENCE PROJECT IDENTIFIED 998 EXTREME ANTIGOVERNMENT GROUPS THAT WERE
ACTIVE IN 2015. Of these groups, 276 were militias, marked with an asterisk, and the remainder
included “common-law” courts, publishers, ministries, and citizens’ groups. Generally, such
groups define themselves as opposed to the “New World Order,” engage in groundless conspiracy
theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not
imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are
racist. The list was compiled from field reports, group publications, the Internet, law enforcement
sources and news reports. Groups are identified by the city, county or region where they are located.
