Under orders from President Donald Trump, the FBI has started visiting the homes of innocent protesters, according to a report. In one case, special needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, told independent journalist Ken Klippenstein that agents visited his home after he participated in a June protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Arizona. The two agents, who only identified themselves as "James" and "Keith", were recorded on Serafini's security camera.
"We came out here to ask you questions regarding a protest that happened on the 11th of June," one of the agents explained. "We've been just basically going around asking questions for a few people
and your name was brought up."
Last month, Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), which authorized the Department of Justice to treat "extremism on migration" as an indicator of terrorism. Attorney General Pam Bondi cited Trump's memorandum in a Sept. 9 directive adding any necessary FBI agents to a "temporary ICE Protection Task Force."
The president's order suggested that "law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts." Serafini said the agents that visited his home "were trying to figure out the shadowy entity behind the protest." "What a waste of their time to go after st that doesn't exist," he added.

(111,856 posts)and just saw a flyer or a social media post and decided to go. It is clear FBI used AI to identify him. He was rightfully suspicious of how they identified him, as he'd done nothing and was with no one else. He was very polite. I think I immediately would have been interrogating THEM as to why they thought it appropriate to do what they are doing against peaceful protestors and whether or not ANY OF THEM had actually read the constitution--specifically the First Amendment? I would have been polite, but assertive as hell, which would undoubtedly have them pissed off. But, how else to respond to such tactics?

Thanks!
