前联邦调查局情报官员在一份举报人投诉中指控,联邦调查局针对南加州的反移民与海关执法局抗议者展开了初步调查,她认为此举违反了法律和该局政策。

前联邦调查局洛杉矶分局情报主管分析师吉尔·菲尔兹披露,这些调查始于2025年初,也就是特朗普政府移民镇压政策实施的最初几周,是应特朗普总统和其他政府官员的要求展开的。

美国有线电视新闻网查看了菲尔兹的代理律师提交给参议院司法委员会成员的投诉文件。

美国司法部发言人告诉美国有线电视新闻网,司法部将继续“全力维护所有美国人的第一修正案权利,恢复法治”。

“司法部和联邦调查局有责任调查任何可能违反联邦法律的行为,阻碍联邦执法的阴谋以及袭击联邦官员的行为都是违法的,”该发言人在一份声明中表示。“暴力不受第一修正案保护。出于政治动机的袭击不会阻止我们履行职责。”

美国有线电视新闻网已就此次爆料向联邦调查局和白宫寻求置评。

菲尔兹的爆料显示,至少有一起案件中,联邦调查局在总统要求调查他在TikTok视频中看到的加州阿罕布拉市反移民与海关执法局及海关和边境保护局的抗议者后,对这些抗议者展开了初步调查。视频中的抗议者用扩音器向邻居提醒移民执法官员的行踪。

菲尔兹的代理律师在给参议员的信中表示,在2025年2月阿罕布拉市的抗议活动之后,菲尔兹手下的一名分析师“告知她,专案组被下令对视频中被指控阻碍移民逮捕行动的2至4名反移民与海关执法局和海关和边境保护局抗议者开展预评估调查,尽管联邦调查局政策禁止仅基于受第一修正案保护的活动展开调查,且专案组尚未掌握任何犯罪证据”。

信件称,这些调查展开前,联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔曾告诉联邦调查局高层,总统“对该事件感到愤怒,他希望对这些抗议者展开调查并将其逮捕”。

民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪利亚援引这份举报人投诉,在写给帕特尔和司法部长托德·布兰奇的信中,质疑司法部目前有多少针对抗议者的调查正在进行,以及特朗普是否曾下令开展其他类似调查。

菲尔兹的举报人投诉披露了两起独立事件,她称白宫官员曾要求联邦调查局调查并逮捕反移民与海关执法局的抗议者。

菲尔兹表示,几周前的另一起事件也引发了对言论自由的类似关注,当时时任代理副司法部长埃米尔·博夫要求联邦调查局调查加州一座联邦大楼外的一群反移民与海关执法局抗议者。

菲尔兹指出,在两起案件中,除非发生言论之外的其他行为,否则第一修正案保护禁止开展此类调查和提起潜在指控。

菲尔兹称,她就此事向一名上级提出质疑时,被告知必须执行命令。

这位前分析师表示,她被剥夺了自己的团队,洛杉矶分局的联邦调查局领导层也不再支持她,最终促使她从该局辞职。

Whistleblower says Trump demanded FBI probe into protesters over a TikTok he saw

The FBI opened preliminary investigations targeting anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters in Southern California, a former FBI intelligence official alleged in a whistleblower complaint, adding that she believed the move violated the law and agency policy.

The investigations were opened in early 2025 in the early weeks of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown following demands from President Donald Trump and other administration officials, according to the disclosure by Jill Fields, a former supervisory intelligence analyst in the FBI’s Los Angeles field office.

CNN reviewed the complaint, which was filed by lawyers representing Fields to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A Justice Department spokesperson told CNN said the DOJ will continue to “vigorously uphold the First Amendment rights of all Americans and restore the rule of law.”

“The DOJ and FBI have a responsibility to investigate any potential violations of federal law, and conspiracies to impede federal law enforcement and assaults on federal officers are against the law,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Violence is not protected by the First Amendment. Politically motivated attacks will not deter us from doing our job.”

CNN has reached out to the FBI and White House about the disclosure.

In at least one instance, the FBI began preliminary investigations of protesters after the president demanded an investigation of people he saw in a TikTok video depicting demonstrators against ICE and Customs and Border Protection in Alhambra, California. The protesters were using bullhorns to warn neighbors about the presence of immigration-enforcement officers, Field’ disclosure said.

Following the February 2025 protest in Alhambra, an analyst who worked under Fields “informed her that the squad had been ordered to run pre‑assessment checks on the two to four anti‑ICE and CBP protesters in the video accused of impeding an immigration arrest, even though FBI policy prohibits opening investigations based solely on First Amendment‑protected activity, and the squad did not yet have evidence of a crime,” lawyers representing Fields said in a letter to senators.

The investigations came after FBI Director Kash Patel told top FBI leaders that the president “was angry about the incident, and he wanted those protesters investigated and arrested,” the letter said.

In a letter to Patel and Attorney General Todd Blanche, citing the whistleblower complaint, Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla questioned the Justice Department on how many investigations into protestors were currently active and whether Trump had directed other, similar investigations.

Fields’ whistleblower complaint disclosed two separate incidents in which she said White House officials demanded the FBI investigate and arrest anti-ICE protesters.

A separate incident weeks earlier sparked a similar focus on free speech, according to Fields, when then-Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove demanded the FBI investigate a group of anti-ICE protestors outside a federal building in California.

In both cases, Fields noted that First Amendment protections prohibited such investigations and potential charges unless other action beyond speech had taken place.

When she raised the issue with one superior, Fields says she was told it had to happen.

The former analyst said she was stripped of her team and lost support from FBI leadership in her Los Angeles office, pushing her to ultimately resign from the bureau.
