#FBI #Counterterrorism Agents Spent Weeks Seeking a #ClimateActivist — Then Showed Up at His Door

The visit suggests a possible FBI probe into #ExtinctionRebellionNYC as the Trump administration increases surveillance of #activist groups.

Jacqueline Sweet, February 12 2026

Excerpt: "Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, at least one of whom works on counterterrorism, went to the home of a former member of a #ClimateActivism group for questioning last week, potentially signaling a new escalation in the Trump administration’s promise to criminalize #nonprofits and #ActivistGroups as #DomesticTerrorists.

"Two FBI agents, one from New York’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, told a former member of Extinction Rebellion NYC they wanted to ask him about the group at his home upstate on Friday, an attorney for the group told The Intercept. The visit followed a prior attempt to reach him at his old address.

"The FBI’s apparent probe of Extinction Rebellion NYC comes as the Justice Department ramps up its surveillance of activists protesting immigration enforcement and the Trump administration creates secret lists of domestic enemies under Trump’s National Security Presidential #Memorandum7, or #NSPM7.

" 'I believe this to be a significant escalation of the criminal legal system against #XR and find it very troubling,' said Ron Kuby, the Extinction Rebellion attorney. 'This is usually the way we find out an actual investigation is underway and is often followed by other visits and other actions.'

"The former Extinction Rebellion member, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear for his safety, said that the visit came after a phone call in January from a special agent that he assumed was a scam.

" 'I was skeptical the phone call was really from the FBI, but after I declined to speak with the agent, she said that she was standing outside my door,' he said. She was actually at the activist’s former address, which he said made him additionally dubious. But last week, when the agents showed up at his current address, he said he saw the agent’s business card through his door."

Excerpt: "NSPM-7 also directed Attorney General #PamBondi to compile a list 'of any such groups or entities' to be designated as '#DomesticTerrorist organization[s]' and Bondi has ordered the FBI to 'compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,' according to a December 4 Justice Department memo, 'Implementing National Security Presidential #Memorandum7: Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,' which the Justice Department shared with The Intercept. Essayli also referenced that memo, stating that it mobilized 'federal law enforcement to prioritize and counter domestic terrorism and political violence investigations.' He added, 'As a result of those directives, we built this case.'

"Justice Department spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre did not respond to repeated requests for clarification about whether the #TurtleIslandLiberationFront and a supposed more militant faction known as the Order of the #BlackLotus were on either the domestic or designated terrorist lists.

"Senior White House adviser #StephenMiller issued an ominous pronouncement about the administration’s crackdown on dissent in America on Monday. 'Following the issuance of #NSPM7 vast government resources have been unleashed to find and dismantle the violent fifth column of domestic terrorists clandestinely operating inside the United States,' he wrote on X."
