While the media continues to ignore and even mock Trumps war on Antifa terrorism as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly interrogating protesters.
The Bureau is targeting anti-ICE protesters not charged with any crime, like Chicago-based English professor Elias Cepeda, as I recently reported. Often people targeted have refused to go public with their experience, fearing retribution. But one protester, fed up with the culture of self-censorship, decided to share his story. His account sheds light on the FBIs attempts to map out some organized Antifa superstructure and in doing so, undermining Americans freedom of speech and political expression.
Special-needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, was watching a movie with his roommate when the FBI knocked on his door in suburban Tucson, Arizona last Friday. Two special agents greeted him, introducing themselves only as James and Keith. They didnt offer their own last names, but they knew Miles as well as his home address, his social media handles, what car he owns, and, unbeknownst to him, his political activities.
We came out here to ask you questions regarding a protest that happened on the the 11th of June, one of the agents said in an exchange captured on a Ring camera and provided to me by Serafini. Weve been just basically going around asking questions for a few people
and your name was brought up.

(16,330 posts)The very first question you should ask them is do you have a warrant to be on my property?
If there is no warrant, your next statement should be "get the fuck off my property until you get a warrant, and there will be no conversation without my lawyer present".
At this point you break contact with them and call a lawyer.

If you open your door and then they identify themselves, ask if they have a warrant and when they say "no" shut the door and talk to them through the door. You do NOT have to open your door for any cop or agent.
And of course you don't have to let them in to search unless they produce a warrant. If they threaten you with a warrant, let them. Then contact a lawyer.
