FBI agents told an Oklahoma woman that the agency spends "every day, all day long" questioning people about their social media posts when they arrived at her house to ask about posts she made online.
Rolla Abdeljawad, of Stillwater, was told by FBI agents who showed up at her home on Wednesday that Facebook had handed over screenshots of her posts.
Abdeljawad told the agents she did not want to talk and asked them to show their badges on camera, but the agents refused, video posted to the social media platform X by her lawyer, Hassan Shibly, shows. The woman wrote on Facebook that she later confirmed with local police that the people who showed up at her home were actually FBI agents.
"Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account," one agent wearing a gray shirt was heard saying in the video.
Abdeljawad replied, "So we no longer live in a free country, and we can't say what we want?"
"No, we totally do," another agent wearing a red shirt said. "That's why we're not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It's just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will."
The woman then said, "All I've done is exercise my right as an American citizen on a public social media platform with my personal opinions."
It is unclear which posts caught the attention of the FBI, but Abdeljawad has made a series of posts in the past week expressing frustration about the ongoing war in Gaza between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists, including referring to Israel as "Israhell."

“I’m surprised. I thought anti-Israel was OK.”

That explains why they can’t find and deal with any real crimes.
***Well we now have a Stalinist Nazi regime running our country***
Definitely NOT the FBI of the 1959 movie THE FBI STORY or the Efrem Zimbalist Jr. TV show of the 1960s.
More like the nazi GESTAPO or the NKVD of the Soviets.
“Show me the man and I will show you the crime.”- attributed to the Stalinist-era Soviet jurist Andrey Vyshinsky, or the Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria
Anyone with basic skills can illegally track another person via his ip {or as Gibbs used to say "up" } address.
Since FR has been a known conservative site before the 21 Century, you can be assured that the feds have eyeballs on FReepers.
Anyone that thinks that nsa doesn't monitor {and key word screen} all calls is delusional, regardless of the illegality, it's for your own good:(
Whether this happened or not, at least she gave the correct response. The First Amendment is there to protect free speech, including unpopular speech.
Except this is the cover for the real intrusion into any conservative who voices an opinion. They are trying to scare people into silence.
“Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account”
FIB has bad friends in high places favors get made it’s a two way street.
Congress lets Facebook walk on chargers after questioned......
They weren’t there to take any action for anything illegal. Hell, their ‘agents’ weren’t in regular garb and likely not even full fledged agents. They were there for intimidation and it didn’t work
Show me a valid FBI badge and provide you name or step on off to the crap hole from which you came.
Back during the Clinton administration Freeper Gonzo (RIP) made a posting here that got him an FBI visit. I happened to be in the area and stopped by his house to start a one-person protest by their car.
Shut this dystopian Stasi police state down.
