/1🚨BREAKING🚨

Following the attempted assassination of President Trump, we have launched over a dozen investigations into the federal government’s activities before, during, and after July 13, 2024. 

We are fighting to ensure the American people have full transparency.

READ: Image
/2 Congress has charged the United States Secret Service (USSS) with the responsibility to protect many individuals—from the President, Vice President, their immediate families, and former Presidents, to visiting heads of foreign countries and other individuals.
/3 The USSS, which is a component of DHS has no more important role than protecting the life and safety of those individuals whom Congress has designated in need of protection.

Countless agents within the USSS have dedicated their lives and risked their personal safety to advance this vital mission.
/4 However, following the attempted assassination of President Trump on July 13, 2024, public reporting has indicated that requests from components of the USSS for additional resources to fulfill protective missions for protectees—including President Trump—may have been rejected by DHS and USSS leadership.

In particular, this includes requests made by the Special Operations Division of the USSS for additional resources to enhance its critical mission of ensuring the safety and security of all protectees.
/5 The American people deserve to know if such requests were made and rejected anywhere within the broader DHS enterprise.

The American people also deserve to know the extent to which DHS leadership anticipated and prioritized resources for the physical safety and security of all USSS protectees.
/6 Undoubtedly, the agents within the USSS should have the best available equipment and every resource at their disposal to ensure that each one of their protectees–regardless of who they are–remain free from harm.
/7 This is particularly so because the Biden Administration knows how to prioritize resources when it wants to. Since January 20, 2021, DHS has dedicated unprecedented resources to facilitating the mass entry of illegal aliens into the United States.

DHS has spent billions of dollars on releasing illegal aliens into the country, funding nonprofits and NGOs, and otherwise utilizing taxpayer resources to facilitate the entry of illegal aliens into the country. This includes the reassignment of federal law enforcement personnel to facilitate such releases.
/8 The American people deserve to know if DHS and USSS provided the agents on the ground with anything other than the best resources and support possible to ensure the safety of all protectees.

The American people also deserve to know the full extent to which DHS has reallocated and prioritized resources to facilitate the entry of illegal aliens into the United States. And the American people deserve to know how DHS and DOJ responded to the attempted assassination of President Trump.
/9 Accordingly, AFL has filed dozens of FOIAs as part of this investigation, which include, but are not limited to, requests for the following information: 

🚨Whether requests for additional resources from the Secret Service were denied by DHS.
Image
Image
/10🚨Communications from DHS front office officials discussing President Trump’s Secret Service detail throughout the course of the Biden administration.
Image
Image
/11🚨Records regarding how Secret Service resources were allocated on July 13, 2024, including how many agents were on President Trump’s Secret Service detail and whether or not agents were removed from the detail.
Image
Image
/12🚨 Records related to Secret Service requests for assistance from other law enforcement components of DHS.
Image
Image
/13🚨The number of DHS personnel dedicated to or reassigned to process aliens at the Southern border.
Image
Image
/14🚨All text messages, call logs, Microsoft Teams messages, and emails to or from DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorkas, DHS Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary Kristie Canegallo, and DHS Chief of Staff Jonathan Davidson on July 13, 2024.
Image
Image
/15🚨All communications and records created by or provided to key figures at the DOJ and FBI, including Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Image
Image
/16🚨 All records and information on shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks from DHS, the FBI, and the U.S. Secret Service.
Image
Image
/17 The American public deserves full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding this tragic day in American history. America First Legal is absolutely committed to obtaining these records from the government on an expedited basis and will provide the results of its investigation to the American people.

/1🚨BREAKING: AFL SUES MARICOPA COUNTY TO STOP ILLEGAL ELECTION POWER GRAB🚨

Maricopa County is trying to unlawfully seize control of election operations in Arizona.

AFL just filed a lawsuit to stop this illegal election interference.

🧵👇 Image
/2 AFL filed the lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on behalf of Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap.

The board is attempting to unlawfully seize control of election operations by refusing to give Recorder Heap the resources he needs to fulfill his statutory duty to administer elections.Image
/3 Arizona law requires the board to fully fund the recorder’s necessary expenses.

Despite this, the board recently passed a budget that permanently transfers the recorder’s key statutory duties to itself and underfunds the recorder’s office.

/1🚨UVA’s Board of Visitors voted to dismantle its DEI infrastructure.

Instead, UVA just rebranded.

When it failed to comply, DOJ demanded proof.

So AFL investigated — and found the truth:

Same people.
Same responsibilities.
Same agenda.
New titles.

We’ve got the receipts.🧵 Image
Image
/2 Christian West was UVA Darden’s “Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Recruiting.”

Now he’s the “Senior Director of Global Recruitment.”

Same bio.
Leverages the same DEI “partnerships.”
Same race-preferenced hiring practices. Image
Image
/3 Jannatul Pramanik was UVA’s “Associate Director, Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Office of Admissions.”

Now she’s “Associate Director, Global Recruitment.”

Her role didn’t change.
The discrimination didn’t disappear.
Only the label did. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sent a letter to DOJ exposing how the University of Virginia is disguising its discriminatory DEI infrastructure under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade federal law.

The law is clear — and UVA is on notice.

DOJ is watching — and so are we.

🧵THREAD: Image
/2 On April 28, DOJ formally directed UVA to certify — “with precision and particularity” — that it had dismantled its discriminatory DEI programs to comply with federal civil rights law and President Trump’s Executive Orders.

UVA didn’t comply.

Instead, it formed a working group to “promote open inquiry” and build a “truly inclusive and welcoming community.”Image
/3 UVA has rebranded its discriminatory policies under new labels, using euphemisms like “Inclusive Excellence,” “Community Engagement,” and “Viewpoint Diversity.”

The names changed — but the substance didn’t.

“Inclusive Excellence” is the framework universities now use to disguise DEI — embedding unlawful preferences based on race, sex, national origin, and other protected traits into operations under the illusion of equity and belonging.Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just moved to intervene in a major lawsuit to overturn an unlawful, decades-old, and race-based consent decree — and restore merit-based hiring in the federal government. Image
/2 For 44 years, a race-based consent decree has prohibited the federal government from using a standardized, merit-based exam to hire civil servants.

This is unconstitutional — and it must be overturned.
/3 In 1981, during the final days of the Carter Administration, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) entered into the Luevano consent decree, ending the use of a standardized written aptitude test in federal hiring.

Since then, OPM has failed to identify any test that satisfies the decree’s race-based requirements.

🔥 Unelected judges with apparent political agendas are blocking President Trump’s policies with “nationwide injunctions.”

These activist judges are abusing the judicial power and usurping the will of the people to sabotage the President’s America First mandate.

Here’s how 🧵 Image
President Trump faced over 64 injunctions in his first term — more than any president in history.

Now, it’s happening again. 

This isn’t a normal judicial process — it’s a full-scale judicial power grab to thwart the results of a valid election. Image
Less than 4 months into the second Trump Administration, the judiciary has already issued over 200 orders to halt the President’s agenda — including nearly 40 nationwide injunctions.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a judicial complaint against Judge John McConnell, the federal judge blocking President Trump’s spending freeze.

He led a nonprofit set to gain millions from his ruling — a blatant conflict of interest and ethics violation.

He must be investigated. Image
/2 This complaint follows AFL’s explosive discovery that Judge McConnell continued to preside over a case despite a clear conflict of interest.

Now, AFL’s investigation has uncovered even more deeply concerning details…
/3 Judge McConnell is presiding over New York v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by 21 states and D.C. challenging President Trump’s temporary freeze on federal funding.

In February, he ordered taxpayer money to continue flowing to the states, including to Crossroads Rhode Island, where he served as a board member and board chairman over a span of nearly 20 years.Image
