ICN Sunday Morning: Is the FBI Investigating Climate Activists?

Go behind the scenes with managing editor Jamie Smith Hopkins and reporter Nick Kusnetz as they discuss how a recent visit by an FBI agent to a climate activist hints at a broadening Trump administration effort to target political opponents.An FBI agent arrived at the door of a former member of Extinction Rebellion NYC last month, saying she had questions about the environmental advocacy group. It wasn’t the first time climate activists have drawn scrutiny from the FBI. But the visit appeared to place this group on the leading edge of the Trump administration’s use of law enforcement to target protests and free speech that civil liberties advocates say are protected by the Constitution.Nick, an investigative reporter for ICN, explains details of the encounter, what it may have to do with President Donald Trump’s national security memo on domestic terrorism, and the unanswered questions about what broader investigative effort could be taking place.
