/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 has filed federal civil rights complaints against THREE Virginia localities for race-based discrimination.

AFL is requesting @CivilRights investigate:
-City of Alexandria
-City of Richmond
-Arlington County
/2 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits race-based discrimination by entities receiving federal funding.

Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment.

These jurisdictions appear to be violating both.
/3 AFL’s complaint highlights how the City of Alexandra passed a resolution, which Alexandria’s Office of Race and Social Equity (RASE) describes as motivating the city’s commitment to “embedding racial and social equity into all city policies, programs, decisions, and environments.”Image

/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power. Image
/2 Illinois’ Public Act 104-0032 orders schools to screen kids in grades 3–12 for mental health issues at least once a year, starting in 2027.

No consent. No parental notice. Just the State interrogating children about their private emotions, family life, and home environment—and recording their answers in a government database.
/3 Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, schools must obtain affirmative written parental consent before subjecting any child to any “survey, analysis, or evaluation” about their mental health or psychological condition.

Illinois’ new law ignores that requirement entirely.

/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies. Image
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.

/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.

We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa. Image
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”

/1🚨EXPOSED — New documents reveal that after Hamas terrorists’ October 7 attack, Biden’s DOJ DOWNPLAYED the surge in antisemitism across America — while giving the SPLC an OPEN LINE to steer federal civil-rights policy away from policing antisemitic violence. Image
/2 BEFORE OCTOBER 7, 2023:

Combating antisemitic violence was on DOJ’s agenda.

In December 2022, it was listed on the event memo for the Deputy Attorney General’s “Quarterly Civil Rights Organization Meeting,” lumped in with “Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence.” Image
/3 The agenda for the 2022 meeting included addressing “White Supremacy in Law Enforcement,” in addition to “Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate” and the SPLC’s perspective on hate crimes data. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime. 

Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor.

America First Legal found it.

🧵…. Image
/2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan. Image
/3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent.

We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know. Image
