Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) issued a subpoena to the FBI earlier this month demanding information on its alleged program to surveil Catholics for “signs of radicalization,” which some say is only one component of a larger agenda by the Biden administration to target people of faith.
In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Jordan wrote that whistleblower testimony and heavily redacted documents from the FBI “show how the FBI sought to enlist Catholic houses of worship as potential sources to monitor and report on their parishioners.” Among other things, Jordan’s subpoena states that the FBI “relied on the Southern Poverty Law Center to suggest that certain kinds of Catholic Americans may be domestic terrorists.”
