A federal court dismissed a racketeering lawsuit brought by the nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) against leaders of the Southern Poverty Law Center for blacklisting it as a “hate group.”

CIS Executive Director Mark Krikorian told The Associated Press the group hasn’t yet decided if it should appeal the ruling.
