Recent explosive documents reveal that the Biden Justice Department was actively seeking a justification to deploy federal law enforcement against parents who voiced their concerns regarding their children’s education, all while being aware that these parents were safeguarded by the First Amendment.
The documents acquired by America First Legal (AFL) reveal that officials from the Department of Justice were frantically working behind the scenes just days prior to the controversial memo issued by former Attorney General Merrick Garland on October 4, 2021, which categorized concerned parents as potential “domestic terrorists,” as reported by The Federalist.
“We acknowledge the situation; the difficulty lies in identifying a federal connection,” stated Kevin Chambers, who was serving as an associate deputy attorney general, in an email dated October 1. “However, the White House has reached out regarding our potential assistance in some capacity.”
The communication was issued while the Biden administration was collaborating with the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to formulate a letter requesting the Department of Justice to take action against parents who oppose COVID mandates, critical race theory, and gender ideology in educational institutions — a significant number of whom were already mobilizing through grassroots initiatives and voicing their concerns in viral videos nationwide.
