/1🚨VICTORY🚨

The Biden Admin will dissolve & disband its unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following our lawsuit with @RichardGrenell

They are also turning over their internal docs to our possession: Image
/2 DHS formed this so-called “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” in September 2023, in its own words, “to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts.” Image
/3 However, it was not actually intended to provide unbiased, expert advice to advance the Department of Homeland Security’s mission; instead, it was a completely partisan group designed to provide top cover for the Department’s radical agenda under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas…
/4 Members of this radical committee include:

🚨John Brennan and James Clapper are two of the leaders in the “Letter of 51” who used their “intelligence credentials” to mislead the American public on the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. They stated that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” despite the FBI having validated its authenticity the prior year.Image
/5 🚨Francis Taylor, a former Obama Official who has made at least 650 political contributions, totaling over $32,000, all of which have gone to the Democrat Party or Democrat candidates for office.
/6 🚨Asha George, Rajesh De, Caryn Wagner, and Elisa Massimino, who have made a combined 179 political contributions totaling $60,000 given exclusively to Democrat candidates for political office.
/7 In fact, of the combined political contributions of those named to the group, over 98% went to Democrats. Just 1% went to Republican candidates for office.
/8 Immediately after DHS formed the Group in September 2023, @SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas demanding “DHS immediately rescind the appointments of these known purveyors of disinformation to the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.”Image
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD /9 @SenHawleyPress also sent a letter demanding Secretary Mayorkas terminate the group “led by at least three individuals who helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story preceding the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress /10 In the House of Representatives, @RepPfluger introduced H.R. 5729 to prohibit the use of federal funds in the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group or any other group established to carry out equivalent activities.
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger /11 This bill followed a letter sent by @RepMarkGreen @RepPfluger in their capacities as Chairmen of the House Committee on Homeland Security @HomelandGOP and the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, respectively.

@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger @RepMarkGreen @HomelandGOP /12 In November 2023, representing former Ambassador and Acting Director of National Intelligence @RichardGrenell and itself, AFL — in partnership with co-counsel Christopher Mills — sued DHS and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
/13 AFL alleged that the group comprised of partisan actors violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act for various reasons — including its lack of balance, the Biden Administration’s inappropriate influence over it, and its lack of public notice and participation, among other things.
/14 In avoiding further litigation in this case, DHS agreed to:

1️⃣Disband the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group”
2️⃣Provide AFL with access to its records

Accordingly, DHS and AFL agreed to dismiss the case. Image
/15 This is the second illegal FACA that the Biden Administration has agreed to disband following a lawsuit filed by AFL...

Keep reading.
/16 In December 2022, the Department of Education disbanded its illegal Parents Council following legal action brought by AFL on behalf of its clients, Parents Defending Education and Fight for Schools and Families.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL just DEFEATED the @ACLU in a landmark immigration enforcement case.

A Pennsylvania court THREW OUT the ACLU’s lawsuit attacking a local sheriff for working with ICE.

Major victory for the rule of law and public safety. Image
/2 The ACLU and its activist allies sued Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran for partnering with ICE under the 287(g) Program, which allows trained state and local law enforcement officers to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts.
/3 The ACLU’s lawsuit sought to block local law enforcement from helping federal agents remove criminal illegal aliens and keep Americans safe.

AFL and @WallyZimolong defended Sheriff Harran and fought back against the ACLU’s attack on the rule of law.

/1🏛️📄 NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Chairman @Jim_Jordan and 17 members of @JudiciaryGOP.

The brief urges SCOTUS to RESTORE the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and its limits on U.S. citizenship. Image
/2 The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction — meaning total, exclusive allegiance and lawful presence.

Simply living within our borders is not enough.
/3 Allegiance isn’t geography — it’s a bond.

It requires loyalty from the individual and consent from the nation.

When that consent is broken, citizenship cannot be claimed.

/1🚨BOMBSHELL🚨

AFL has uncovered that MULTIPLE states suing President Trump over his Executive Order on birthright citizenship appear to have NO EVIDENCE to support their claims.
/2 On January 21, 2025, the states of Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Arizona sued the Trump Administration over Executive Order 14160, which ends birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

The states allege the order will cost them money in programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and adoption assistance.
/3 There’s just one problem.

When AFL filed public records requests seeking clarity from these states on their claims — to show ANY DATA linking the order to actual costs — they came up empty-handed.

/1🚨LANDMARK LAWSUIT🚨

AFL is fighting for a fair and lawful Census — alleging that the 2020 Census used FLAWED statistical methods that FABRICATED population counts and STOLE representation from the American people. Image
/2 The U.S. Constitution requires an actual count of every person every ten years.

Federal law explicitly prohibits the use of “statistical sampling” or other methods that risk inaccurate results.

No models.

No estimates.

No statistical tricks.Image
/3 In 2020, the Census Bureau ignored this mandate.

Instead of counting real people at their real addresses, it used two deeply flawed and unlawful methods:

📊 “Group Quarters Imputation”

💻 “Differential Privacy”

NEW 🚨: America First Legal has re-filed its case against Fairfax County Public Schools in federal court.

This case is about restoring sanity, protecting free speech, and keeping MEN out of GIRLS’ spaces.
/2 At threat of punishment, Fairfax County forced then-student Jane Doe to forego her religious beliefs and use her peers’ preferred pronouns.

🚫 Compelled speech. ❌ Forced ideology. ⛔️ Violation of her First Amendment rights.
/3 At the same time, FCPS trampled her right to privacy.

They allowed a male student to use the girls’ restroom because he “felt unsafe” in the boys’ room.

But when Jane said she felt unsafe, she was told: Deal with it, or find a private bathroom.

🚨BREAKING — AFL has obtained thousands of pages of records exposing Biden DOJ’s SHOCKING partnership and coordination with the radical SPLC to WEAPONIZE civil rights enforcement.

No daylight between DOJ and SPLC.

Here’s round #1👇 Image
/2 Explosive documents, obtained via FOIA, reveal Biden’s DOJ gave SPLC UNPRECEDENTED access to influence federal civil rights enforcement.

They weren’t just at the table — they were helping RUN THE SHOW.

Quarterly meetings, coffee and danish meetups, training DOJ prosecutors… Image
/3 SPLC, known for smearing groups like Moms for Liberty and Turning Point USA as “hate groups” alongside the KKK, got early access to FBI hate-crime data, drafted DOJ talking points, and even TRAINED federal prosecutors. Image
