EXCLUSIVE: Document reveals the FBI is tracking border protest groups as extremist organizations yhoo.it/2ZNKVUY via @janawinter, @hunterw
@janawinter @hunterw The FBI has gathered intelligence from people with “direct access” to the organizations and is monitoring their social media, according to the document, called an “external intelligence note,” that was obtained by Yahoo News yhoo.it/2ZNKVUY
The note said there are indications these groups are “increasingly arming themselves and using lethal force to further their goals.”

However, almost all of the evidence cited in the report involved nonviolent protest activity. yhoo.it/2ZNKVUY
The intelligence collected and cited is worrisome to activists and civil rights advocates who say that the gov't is classifying legitimate gov't opposition and legally protected speech as violent extremism or domestic terrorism yhoo.it/2ZNKVUY
