During recent congressional testimony, FBI Director Christopher Wray was questioned by Representative Ro Khanna regarding the surveillance and investigation of nonviolent protesters. Wray confirmed that nonviolent protesters, including pro-Hamas ceasefire advocates and those concerning Israel/Gaza or the 2024 election, would not be investigated or surveilled by the FBI. This assurance comes in response to concerns raised after Speaker Nancy Pelosi's demand for an investigation into Gaza ceasefire advocates. The discussion reflects the current climate of concern over the rights of nonviolent protesters and the FBI's historical approach to such individuals.

During testimony yesterday, FBI director Chris Wray emphatically stated he would not prosecute pro-Palestinian protesters. They are protected under 1A, he said. So today… https://t.co/9nmDQbeMDW

Rep. @RoKhanna takes on @SpeakerPelosi's threat against Gaza ceasefire advocates with FBI director: "Could you assure the American public today that no nonviolent protester about a ceasefire... will be investigated or surveilled by the FBI?" https://t.co/8T56CSGMGF
I directly challenged Director Christopher Wray today to confirm that nonviolent ceasefire protesters must not be investigated or surveilled by the FBI. He confirmed they would not be. https://t.co/VL7PSkHJDZ
Good salt of the earth evangelical Christians - like the ones just sentenced to 11-year political sentences today for praying outside an abortion clinic - are the bedrock of civic stability in this country. For decades they sent their kids to the military, paid their taxes,…
