FBI Raids Against Anti-War Groups in Minnesota, Chicago

While we knew that the FBI was targeting "eco-terrorists", the charges and raids are being expanded to anti-war and other social justice organizations and networks.

Very disturbing.

In the past few days, the FBI raided the homes of anti-war activists in the midwest US and the executive director of Arab American Advocacy Network.

Ted Dooley, Kelly's attorney, called the raids "a probe into the political beliefs of American citizens and any organization anywhere that opposes the American imperial design." He said the warrants cited a federal law making it a violation to provide or conspire to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations.
