F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli - This is false, Senator. The FBI investigated those obstructing law enforcement and engaging in assault, such as punching and spitting (my office charged more than 100 individuals with such crimes). There is no First Amendment right to violently resist federal officers enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress.

NEW: Top allegations from the FBI whistleblower disclosure I received:
-Trump reportedly ordered the FBI to investigate and arrest LA protesters exercising their First Amendment rights, despite no evidence of a crime or threat.
-On a separate occasion, former Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered FBI employees to open an investigation into anti-ICE and CBP protestors based solely on their First Amendment activity.
-FBI leadership believed the investigations were illegal and moved forward anyway.
-Employees feared retaliation if they objected.
-FBI resources were diverted from violent crime, drug trafficking, and organized crime to pursue law abiding protesters.

F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli - Land or sea, there’s nowhere to flee. Our borders are closed to illegal immigration.
