Reports have emerged that the federal government, specifically the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), has been involved in surveillance activities that target certain private bank transactions. These transactions are being flagged based on specific terms such as 'MAGA' and 'Trump', as well as purchases of Bibles and items from retailers like Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Bass Pro Shop. The actions are being criticized as a form of weaponization against Republicans and an attack on American values. House Republicans, including the Judiciary Committee, have expressed concern over this 'surveillance state' and are working to protect constitutional rights. The issue has raised alarm among various groups and individuals, with some comparing the FBI to the Stasi and calling for its defunding due to perceived political weaponization.
