The #Trump administration’s demand for loyalty, as well as its removal of prosecutors & #FBI officials deemed not supportive of the president’s agenda, goes against that tradition, outside analysts said. So too does #Trump’s directive that #PamBondi “seek sanctions” against attorneys & law firms that the administration believes are engaging in “frivolous, unreasonable & vexatious litigation against *the United States* [trump].”

Law enforcement agents from the #FBI, the #DEA, the #ATF, & #DHS have been given a list of questions to ask the minors & their sponsors during the *welfare checks*….The form directs agents to question sponsors about who asked them to sponsor the child, if any payment was made during the sponsor process, what info they provided in their application, whether the sponsor has ever been arrested, where the sponsors do their banking & where the sponsor works.

#DHS has enlisted the #FBI & other #criminal law enforcement agencies in recent weeks to conduct *welfare checks* on #children & young people who came to the United States without their parents, alarming advocates who worry it’s an effort to target them for #deportation or scare them.

#Trump admin officials say they want to protect young migrants from trafficking & violence. Advocates worry they’re being targeted for #deportation.

Today in Labor History April 10, 1947: FBI agents visited Ronald Reagan (then president of the Screen Actors Guild) and his wife Jane Wyman, accusing them of belonging to a communist front group. To prove his loyalty, Reagan agreed to become a secret informer and went on to have a long and illustrious career as an anti-communist, union-busting, trickle-down asshole.

Wer erinnert sich noch an Kevin Mitnick? In den 1980er und 1990er-Jahren vom #FBI gesucht und als einer der Wegbereiter des "#Socialengineering" zum Mythos geworden, wird in einer ausführlichen Reportage über den 2023 verstorbenen #Computerhacker berichtet, der in seinen späteren Jahren zum #Cybersecurity Experten avancierte:

"Am Weihnachtstag 1994 hackte sich Kevin Mitnick in das Heimnetzwerk von Tsutomu Shimomura, einem bekannten Computersicherheitsexperten."

gagadget.comDie Geschichte von Kevin Mitnick: der berühmteste Hacker der Welt"Guten Tag, Sir. Können Sie mir sagen, wo ich so einen Komposter kaufen kann? Ich brauche einen für ein Schulprojekt", sagte der Zwölfjährige mit sehr selbstbewusster Stimme, so dass der Fahrer des Stadtbusses von Los Angeles keine Ahnung hatte, was der Junge vorhatte. Tatsächlich entsprach sein Plan seinen Haupteigenschaften - seiner Neugier und seinem tadellosen Gedächtnis, das es ihm ermöglichte, sich alle Kombinationen von Perforationen auf Busfahrkarten für das Umsteigen zu merken. Und er brauchte das Werkzeug, um nie wieder für Busse bezahlen zu müssen. Und um sich kostenlos in Los Angeles bewegen zu können. Der Name des Mannes war Kevin Mitnick. Wie er sich in seiner Autobiografie erinnert, war dies das erste Mal in seinem Leben, dass er das System hackte, um freien Zugang zu seinen Ressourcen zu erhalten. Später erkannte er, dass dies als Social Engineering bezeichnet wird. Aber wir kennen ihn eher als den berüchtigtsten Hacker der Welt, der zwei Jahre lang vom FBI gejagt wurde.

Trump just ordered the DOJ to investigate Trump's own former head of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (#CISA), Chris Krebs. Krebs's primary sin appears to have been making public statements that the 2024 election was the most secure in history because almost all votes were recorded on paper ballots.

Worth noting that since Nixon it has been an important norm that the president has no say in who does or doesn't get investigated by #DOJ and #FBI.
