/1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

We obtained new docs from the Brennan-Clapper DHS intel group revealing the Biden admin developed a classified plan to expand monitoring of political dissent.

#DeepStateDiaries PART 5: Image
/2 Today, we are releasing the fifth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
/3 From the day President Biden took power, he has mobilized the national security state to support its censorship program…
/4 In June 2021, the Biden Administration’s National Security Council published its first-ever “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” a 32-page plan that outlined their whole-of-government effort to work with Big Tech, state and local governments, non-profits, and others to censor political speech and surveil political dissent.Image
/5 AFL has been investigating the Administration’s implementation of this “Domestic Surveillance Strategy” since 2021, including filing a lawsuit against DHS to compel the release of records relating to how DHS uses its intelligence capabilities to target conservative Americans. Image
/6 You can read more about that lawsuit here: aflegal.org/afl-sues-the-d…
/7 Today, AFL’s litigation against the DHS Intelligence Experts Group has obtained never before released documents exposing that the Biden Administration published a classified implementation plan to accompany their public-facing 2021 Domestic Surveillance Strategy. Image
/8 This classified plan has not been reported publicly until today.

No one in the general public knows what’s in it, what it directs departments and agencies to do, or the scope of agencies involved with it.
/9 This is not the first time AFL has discovered the Biden Administration using classified systems to target political dissent. In January 2023, AFL’s lawsuit against the CDC uncovered that the CDC partnered with the State Department, USAID, the Census Bureau, and others on an NSC classified call to discuss censoring so-called “disinformation.”
/10 Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries aflegal.org/exclusive-new-…

🏛️VICTORY: This week, SCOTUS issued its landmark decision in Trump v. Slaughter:

Officials who exercise the President’s executive power must be removable by him at will.

Statutory restrictions on the President’s removal of such officers VIOLATE the separation of powers. Image
AFL, alongside co-counsel Mitchell Law PLLC, filed an amicus brief in Slaughter, urging the Court to restore constitutional order by overruling Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor).
By overruling Humphrey’s Executor, the Court:

➡️Reaffirms the separation of powers
➡️Ends Congress’s unconstitutional interference in executive functions
➡️Returns accountability to the American people

🚨MAJOR VICTORY🚨

AFL and @KenPaxtonTX just secured a federal court order PERMANENTLY ENDING an illegal Biden-era backdoor amnesty program that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely freeze removal proceedings against illegal aliens. Image
Today, AFL and @TXAG filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas challenging the Biden Department of Justice’s “Administrative Closure Rule,” which allowed immigration judges to indefinitely pause immigration court cases against illegal aliens.
@TXAG The same day the lawsuit was filed, the parties reached a settlement, and the court entered a final consent judgment vacating the rule and permanently enjoining its enforcement.

An illegal rule that allowed illegal aliens to remain in the United States indefinitely is now dead.

🚨NEW: Ninth Circuit Grants Preliminary Injunction Blocking California’s Child Transition Secrecy Law

America First Legal and @SchaerrJaffeLlp just secured a huge win for parental rights — vindicating the rights of families fighting against California’s radical attempt to hide children’s “gender transitions” from parents.Image
2/ In City of Huntington Beach v. Newsom, the Ninth Circuit entered a preliminary injunction blocking key provisions of AB 1955.

This law forced schools to keep parents in the dark about their child’s sexual orientation, “gender identity,” or gender expression — unless the child consented. California tried to insert the State between parents and their kids.
3/ The court, reconsidering in light of the Supreme Court’s landmark Mirabelli v. Bonta decision, held that Plaintiff-Parents “very likely have standing” and that parents — not the State — have primary authority over the upbringing and education of their children.

🚨BREAKING — New documents obtained by AFL reveal Biden’s DOJ weaponized federal law enforcement against parents at school board meetings despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Image
AFL obtained the documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in its ongoing lawsuit over Attorney General Merrick Garland’s infamous October 4, 2021 memorandum targeting concerned parents at school board meetings.
On October 4, 2021 — the day the memo was released — FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg emailed the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, stating the FBI had “some concern.”

He requested “additional time to engage” before messaging about the infamous memo went out. Image

Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.

This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.

đź§µ Image
Judge McConnell served 18 years on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island.

His nonprofit received $128 million in government funding during that time.
Last year, Judge McConnell blocked President Trump’s spending freeze.

His nonprofit stood to receive millions more following his ruling to keep federal funds flowing through one of the plaintiff states.
