A recent report from the House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization Subcommittee has unveiled that the federal government conducted 'broad' and 'unjustified' surveillance of Americans' private financial data through a secret portal called DSAC. This operation involved commandeering financial institutions to spy on Americans, with federal investigators asking banks to search and filter customer data. The surveillance targeted individuals opposing firearm restrictions, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or supporting border security, labeling them as domestic extremists. The report criticizes the use of financial institutions and payment processors as extensions of the intelligence community, a transformation facilitated by legislation such as the Bank Secrecy Act and the Patriot Act. The findings have sparked controversy, with Rep. Jim Jordan highlighting the issue in a Weaponization Committee hearing, and others expressing concern over the politicization of domestic surveillance and its potential to undermine necessary foreign surveillance authority.
