Unbeknowns to the public, on December 13, 2021 the Biden Administration along with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), put out a report that designated anyone who opposed masks or the COVID-19 vaccines as as “Domestic Violent Extremists.” [1, 2, 3]

3 1/2 years later, this information was made public May 24, 2025 after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who on April 28, 2025 declassified and released intelligence records containing this designation which “infringed on the First Amendment and opened the door to investigating Americans for vaccine mandate skepticism”

Catherine Herridge, one of the journalists who obtained the records, notes “The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals.” [4]
