‼️The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just decided to review en band the Portland District Court TRO against use of federalized National Guard troops. They have vacated the order issued by a 9th Circuit panel which had stayed the TRO. I’ll unpack this in following posts. 1/ #LawFedi https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca9.b3c1c6b0-b390-4c9d-b557-fc5d525fd150/gov.uscourts.ca9.b3c1c6b0-b390-4c9d-b557-fc5d525fd150.89.0.pdf

the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.
it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in the US who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.
this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.
any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misremember what you said (!!!).
talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either). talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far more perilous than talking to the old FBI.
i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you think if you stay silent they'll find you suspicious. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ
literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.
and shut. the. fuck. up.
don't be like this guy, who helpfully stepped out of his house to chat with the FBI outside the range of audio recording for most of an hour: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fbi-agents-visit-anti-ice-protester

U.S. District Court Judge Sara Lee Ellis, who issued the TRO barring deployment of federalized National Guard troops in Chicago and an order forbidding ICE troops from using various riot control weapons there has now ordered Border Control commander Bovino to appear before her in person as she inquires into him personally violating the latter, by tossing a tear gas canister into a crowd. 1/ #LawFedi
