Deep State lawyer Norm Eisen filed a Hatch Act complaint against Trump Administration officials on Tuesday over the raid on Ilhan Omar’s home.

The Hatch Act restricts the political activities of executive branch officials.

As previously reported, federal agents raided the DC-area residence of far-left Democrat Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Federal HSI agents arrived at Ilhan Omar’s home at 6 am and removed boxes of evidence.

The Justice Department secured a search warrant for Ilhan Omar’s home amid a years-long investigation into her immigration fraud.

Federal investigators have been probing the immigration paperwork filed by Ilhan Omar’s father.

However, the scope of the federal criminal investigation is much wider than previously reported.

On Monday, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that, according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.

The New York Times also reported on the expanded scope of the investigation and revealed that Ilhan Omar’s family members were subpoenaed.

On Tuesday afternoon, Norm Eisen’s legal group Democracy Defenders Fund called for an investigation into DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin, AG Todd Blanche, and other Trump Administration officials.

“This unprecedented raid occurred a mere four days before general early voting begins in Minnesota and appears to be timed to influence voters in the upcoming midterm election,” the complaint read.

There is ZERO law that prohibits the Justice Department from taking action against members of Congress or political candidates during election season.

BREAKING: We just filed a Hatch Act complaint over the outrageous raid on Ilhan Omar’s home

Officials can’t use criminal power to affect an election. This is the textbook case

Biden DoJ sent the FBI to Terry Newsomes home March of 2023 under the false pretense of an investigation of ANTIFA targeting parents. At the time, Newsome didn’t know he was under an FBI investigation.

A Downers Grove, Illinois father who stood up at a school board meeting against the graphic book “Gender Queer” became the target of a tightly timed campaign that moved from an SPLC Hatewatch article written by a Chicago ANTIFA-linked researcher straight into federal action.

FOIA records, TSA documents obtained by Congress, and the sequence of events show that the pattern is not a coincidence. His case fits the broader pattern documented in the Department of Justice’s October 5, 2026 Weaponization Working Group report on the Garland Memorandum, which traced how the Biden Administration pressured DOJ to treat parents objecting to school policies—including explicit materials, CRT, and transgender policies—as potential domestic terrorists.

Link to Garland Parents Memo: https://www.justice.gov/archives/ag/file/1170061-0/dl?inline=

Terry Newsome, Illinois Chapter President of Parents Involved in Education, former Republican precinct committeeperson, and host of the Behind Enemy Lines podcast, first spoke out in 2021 after discovering explicit sexual content in Community High School District 99 libraries. His advocacy was local, public, and focused on parental rights. He has never been charged with any crime related to January 6, 2021. He left the west side of the Capitol grounds before anyone breached the final police line or entered the Capitol.

The 2026 DOJ report details how the National School Boards Association’s September 29, 2021 letter to President Biden labeled such parental speech as potentially “equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism,”and how, five days later, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued his October 4, 2021 memorandum directing the FBI and U.S. Attorneys to treat threats against school officials as a federal priority.

Internal DOJ emails cited in the report show career officials calling the request “ridiculous” and warning against ramping up federal manpower for non-federal conduct, yet White House and ODAG pressure prevailed. Whistleblower accounts in related House reports noted the FBI opening assessments on parents simply for belonging to “right-wing mom’s groups,” owning guns, or “railing against the government.”

Newsome’s later targeting—after speaking against graphic sexual content in school libraries—occurred under that framework. Parents Involved in Education, like other parental-rights groups, fell into the category of organizations the NSBA and subsequent federal posture treated as sources of disruption.

FOX News story on the SPLC targeting Parents Organizations

On or about November 15, 2022, SPLC senior research analyst Jeff Tischauser filed a FOIA request for Newsome’s school board emails. Tischauser, based in Chicago, has documented public ties to ANTIFA networks, including a July 4, 2022 post directing complaints to an “ANTIFA Foot Soldiers” email address. On November 30, 2022, Tischauser published the Hatewatch article “Illinois Radical Parent Activist Has Hate Group Ties, History of Racist Posts.” It labeled Newsome an extremist with hate-group affiliations, citing a public law-enforcement event photo, a sarcastic “OK” hand sign, old social media posts taken out of context, and his presence in Washington on January 6. A national SPLC press release followed the story on December 1, 2022.

Jeff Tischauser Downers Grove South FOIA request targeting Terry Newsome for being a vocal parent about the indoctrination and sexualization by the school.

Four days after the article, on December 4, 2022, Tischauser posted on X that he had asked Newsome why he “tried to overthrow the government on 1/6” and received no response. Newsome states the conversation never occurred and that the claim is absolutely false. He left before any breach. The same period saw Sedition Hunters, an ANTIFA-aligned group known for collaborating with the Biden FBI, create a dedicated “Terry Newsome – Big Pouches” page using the Jeff Tishauser SPLC article, ANTIFA posts, LinkedIn details, and employer information.

The federal response was immediate. The first 50 pages of an FBI FOIA production (out of 346 pages the Bureau says it holds) show the FBI opened an investigation of Newsome approximately one week after the November 30 SPLC story—days after the December 4 “overthrow” post. The remaining pages, Newsome was told, would take 49 months to release. On December 15, 2022—fifteen days after the article—TSA initiated an unusual “recurrent review” of his PreCheck eligibility. He received a Determination of Ineligibility dated January 13, 2023. Congressman Troy Nehls later obtained the TSA response, signed by Charles Makings, Assistant Administrator for Legislative Affairs. It stated only that TSA was “unable to determine that Mr. Newsome meets the TSA PreCheck Application Program eligibility standards.” No specific information, failed standard, or decision-maker was identified.

While traveling to Turning Point USA’s AmFest with his wife and 15-year-old twins (VIP guests of Charlie Kirk), Newsome, his wife, the twins, and two of the children’s friends were all marked Quad-S (SSSS). The family endured enhanced screening. Later trips, including to CPAC, involved additional agents, secondary searches, bomb-residue checks, and U.S. Air Marshal oversight that made him the focus of the gate. The Quad-S designation was later lifted after congressional intervention; PreCheck was not restored.

In March 2023, FBI agents arrived unannounced at Newsome’s home. He did not know he was under investigation. They indicated they were there because of ANTIFA threats against him and other parent groups, then shifted to questions about January 6, whether he entered the Capitol, and any Proud Boys connections. Ring-camera footage exists of the visit.

ANTIFA and aligned fake X accounts weaponized the SPLC labels. Venues hosting events for Parents Involved in Education, Moms for Liberty, Moms for America, Gays Against Groomers, and Log Cabin Republicans received threats against owners and performers. Multiple joint parent forums were canceled. Pre-Musk Twitter Trust and Safety chief Ella Irwin reviewed complaints about accounts tagging Capgemini executives and clients with the SPLC material and declined to act, calling it protected conversation.

Pre Elon Musk Purchase of Twitter, Ella Irwin, Head of Trust and Security refused to remove ANTIFA aggressive harassment of Terry Newsome, his employer, clients and their executives

Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a formal Demand Letter on or about June 2, 2023, to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. It asked four questions: whether Newsome was on any watchlist; why the SSSS designation was placed; whether DOJ, FBI, or DHS maintain a watchlist of people present near the Capitol on January 6; and whether they maintain one for parents who spoke at school board meetings. All three acknowledged the letter. None answered the questions.

In February 2025, Tischauser published a second SPLC Hatewatch hit piece, “Head of Trump’s Immigration Plans Met Proud Boys Associate About Deportations,” after Newsome met border czar Tom Homan in Chicago and Washington, including a December 11, 2024 session also attended by Alderman Raymond Lopez. The article labeled Newsome a Proud Boys associate. That characterization was later incorporated into Tom Homan’s Wikipedia page. Weeks later, Capgemini terminated Newsome after 23 years. He had won the company’s top sales award seven times—more than any other employee. HR stated the termination was “not due to performance.” At the time he was 63 and recovering from back-to-back cancer treatments for Stage 4 prostate cancer (following immunotherapy for Stage 3 melanoma).

Second targeted SPLC hit piece published by Jeff Tischauser, SPLC Analyst and ANTIFA associate weaponizing the SPLC to harass and discredit Republicans. Two weeks after this story was published Terry Newsome was laid from his 23 year career with Capgemini

The sequence is documented: SPLC article by an Antifa-linked analyst on November 30, public “overthrow the government” accusation on December 4, FBI investigation opened within days, TSA PreCheck review and family Quad-S designation within two weeks, FBI home visit under a shifting pretext months later, second SPLC piece, and career-ending termination. Newsome has provided the Gaetz letter, Nehls/TSA correspondence, FOIA response, Tischauser posts, ring-camera images, and employment records to members of Congress. He has asked the House Judiciary Committee to determine who inside DOJ or FBI received and acted on the SPLC material, to compel release of the remaining FBI pages, to identify the officials who imposed the Quad-S and PreCheck actions, and to examine the SPLC–Antifa pipeline that supplied the public predicate.

After the June 9^th, drilling by Jim Jordan and the Judiciary Committee of SPLC CEO Brian Fair Terry Newsome confronts him in the hallway. Fair was asked why the SPLC employers ANTIFA Associates. No response! 

Watch.

The 2026 DOJ report confirms the foundation: political pressure produced the Garland Memorandum that treated parents speaking at school boards as a federal enforcement priority, despite internal warnings that the conduct was largely local and constitutionally protected. Newsome’s experience—SPLC labeling, rapid FBI and TSA action, family screening, and career destruction—illustrates how that posture operated in practice against a parent whose offense was opposing explicit sexual material in a high school library. Parents who objected to explicit material in school libraries, and Americans who attended January 6 without being charged, were subjected to the same pattern of designation, screening, investigation, and economic pressure. The timestamps, the FOIA opening date, the TSA review date, and the unanswered congressional questions are public. The agencies have never explained the coincidence.

Three stars of the Democrat socialist left. Three controversies. One credibility problem.

Today on Stinchfield, James Talarico’s flu explanation gets scrutiny. First urgent care, then his primary care doctor. What’s the full timeline? The mental institution allegation? The facility denies he was ever treated there. We’ll separate the facts from the rumors.

Abdul El-Sayed denies family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, but his half-sister’s resurfaced posts appear to contradict that denial. And Ilhan Omar faces fresh questions over why her listed birth year changed from 1981 to 1982. She denies wrongdoing.

These politicians want your trust and your vote. I want answers. The left’s rising stars have some explaining to do.

Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. was removed by police during a school board meeting in North Carolina for daring to read a passage from a book available to students at Lake Norman High School.

Pastor Amanchukwu spoke before the Iredell-Statesville Schools Board of Education meeting on October 12, 2026, and began reading excerpts from the novel *Push* by Sapphire, aka Ramona Lofton.

The novel contains explicit depictions of incest, rape, physical and emotional abuse, and related trauma.

Before he even began reading, Board Chair Dr. Doug Knight told him if he was going to “read nasty words” it would not be allowed.

The same “nasty words” that students have free access to can not be read into the record at a board meeting

Pastor Amanchukwu continued to push back, supported by at least one board member, that the Chair was violating his First Amendment rights.

As he began reading some of the explicit passages and reminding the room that the book is freely available to students, Knight told the Pastor he was out of order and police approached Amanchukwu and removed him from the meeting.

Amanchukwu shared the interaction on social media and announced, “A LAWSUIT IS COMING!!!”

“The Iredell-Statesville School District has a BIG problem.”

“I was censored by the board chair for reading from Push by Ramona Lofton. Then POLICE were brought in to intimidate me and force me away from the podium.”

“Let me get this straight: THE BOOK STAYS. THE PREACHER GETS SILENCED.”

“An allegedly inappropriate book remains in Lake Norman High School, but a preacher exercising his right to speak gets shut down?”

Watch:

A new report by Miranda Devine at The New York Post reveals that a federal banking regulator found that “major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons.”

This follows a report on fair banking that was released on Wednesday by US Comptroller Jonathan Gould that he posted on X.

Under the direction of @POTUS and pursuant to his Executive Order, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” the @USOCC today released our debanking report.

With @SecScottBessent’s leadership, we are working to end politicized debanking. Access to banking should be based on financial risk, not political beliefs or whether a lawful industry is out of favor.

Read our findings: https://t.co/xCycsJfd0F

According to the Post:

Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons, a bombshell report from the federal banking regulator has found.

The NY Post also names the guilty parties: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.

These banks cited “reputation risk” as their reason to de-bank conservative groups during the Biden regime years.

Of course, this tactic of the radical left is nothing new for The Gateway Pundit and our readers. As The Gateway Pundit readers are well aware, conservatives have faced increased efforts by the left to de-bank, de-platform, and cancel their voices and ability to do business at every level in the United States.

Tens of thousands of Americans have lost banking privileges, social media pages, and their right to speak freely without warning, The Gateway Pundit has been banned, shadowbanned, censored, and disappeared from online platforms, online banking, and even insurance companies over the past several years.

In December 2021, The Gateway Pundit and Jim Hoft were personally banned from PayPal on the last day of 2021.  We had never violated any of PayPal’s bylaws, we had never been warned about our activity — BUT we are conservative and pro-Trump. That was enough to get us removed from the platform.

American Express slashed the credit line of Mike Lindell’s MyPillow by a staggering 90% after a 15-year partnership between the two companies.

Former Facebook executive Alex Stamos called for conservative news alternatives OANN and Newsmax to be completely deplatformed “to turn down the capability of these Conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences.”

Attorney John Eastman was debanked by Bank of America and USAA in April 2024 for his advocacy of President Trump in his efforts to expose the massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Independent journalist Christina Urso, known professionally as Radix Verum, reported that Bank of America abruptly terminated her bank account in May 2024. Urso was critical in her reporting on various issues including the FBI’s involvement in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case.

Individuals who shopped at stores like Cabela’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, or purchased religious texts like a Bible, may also have had their transactions flagged.

Stripe disabled the Libs of TikTok account in February 2021 with no explanation.

Paypal went on a ban-a-thon in 2022 and has terminated the accounts of a number of campaign organizations. These organizations include the Gay Against Groomers, the Free Speech Union, legal activists Law or Fiction, and the parenting group UsForThem.

The Gateway Pundit’s founder was even blocked from purchasing home insurance in 2019 due to his conservative website.

A Soros-funded NGO pressured companies not to advertise with right-wingers this year.

The Nazis are Back in Germany: Soros-Funded NGO Pressures Procter & Gamble, ALDI, AXA and Others: “Don’t Advertise with Right-Wingers”

These are just a few of the examples we could find of companies and banks targeting conservatives.

The debanking and targeting of conservatives and right-leaning customers is nothing new. Today's New York Post report shines more light on this illegal practice.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith collected information on 639,000 Republican voters and donors during his sprawling Arctic Frost investigation, according to documents released by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley.

The information collected included the donors’ physical home addresses, credit card information, occupations and donation amount.

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded Biden DOJ witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley last year revealed that Jack Smith targeted the ‘entire Republican apparatus.’

Fox News reported:

A new memo obtained by Fox News Digital alleges that former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department collected information on hundreds of thousands of Republican voters and donors.

The memo is part of an update from Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and his investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith and his Arctic Frost probe, which was launched by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2022 to investigate efforts to overturn results of the 2020 election.

Grassley has been diving into Arctic Frost since last year, releasing a drip feed of whistleblower reports on the investigation that led to Smith testifying before the Judiciary Committee last month.

The latest update found that Smith’s special counsel’s office and the DOJ “obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum,” Grassley said in the memo.

“Out of those, over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors,” he continued. “The donors generally contributed small-dollar amounts.”

A new report released by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan in September confirmed Jack Smith coordinated with the Biden DOJ to spy on their political opposition.

Republicans released documents that revealed investigators improperly subpoenaed phone records that belonged to 44 GOP lawmakers during Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation.

Jack Smith’s team also secured gag orders to prevent the GOP lawmakers from learning that Biden’s DOJ obtained their phone records.
