Two groups are in Montgomery County:

• Council of Conservative Citizens in Silver Spring
• Heritage and Destiny in Silver Spring

The list, according to the center, was complied by using hate group publications and websites, citizen and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports.

The list includes anti-Muslim hate groups, the Ku Klux Klan, anti-government ‘patriot’ groups and Black Separatist groups.
