California saw fewer hate crimes events in 2025 compared to the previous year, but there was a spike in the number of anti-citizenship status bias events, the California State Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday.
There were 1,955 reported hate crime events, which are traditional offenses like murder, arson or vandalism with an added element of bias, in 2025, according a new report released by Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office. That’s a 3.4% decrease from 2024’s 2,023 hate crime events.
LA County recorded the highest number of hate crime events than other parts of the state with 795 hate crime incidents, with the large majority of them coming from the city of LA.
Among the overall hate crime incidents, there was a 6.2% increase in events involving racial and ethic bias. Particularly, the number of bias events, which typically involve verbal harassment, slurs or intimidation, against Hispanics surged by 30%. Also anti-citizenship bias incidents went up 150%, going from 16 events in 2024 to 40 in 2025.
“While the overall number of reported hate crime events decreased in 2025, the data makes clear that too many Californians continue to be targeted because of who they are, where they come from, how they worship, who they love, or how they identify, ” Bonta said.
Bonta credited the state’s continued partnership and collaborations with local law enforcement agencies for the reduction in hate crime.
“Policing has gotten smarter. It’s gotten organized and more coordinated,” the state attorney general said.
But he blamed the Trump administration and the Republican party for the “spike” in hate crimes, particularly those related to race, citizenship and gender, including attacks against transgender people.
“When our president, his administration and members of his party continue to spout racist, xenophobic and transphobic rhetoric, when the people leading our country attack our diverse communities, spread misinformation and fan the flames of division, we can’t be all too surprised to see the numbers,” Bonta said.
Given hate crimes are typically under-reported, authorities urged victims to notify local law enforcement and consider taking the following steps:
Reach out to community organizations in your area that deal with hate crimes or incidents.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 and, if needed, seek medical attention.
Write down the exact words that were used and take note of any other relevant facts.
If safe to do so, save all evidence and take photos.
Get contact information for other victims and witnesses.
