Looks like it is true. Read the story. Also it says:

“he DHS memo also stated that any bank employee that tells customers or members of the media of about the clandestine action “will be grounds for the immediate termination of the said employee or employees and their prosecution under the Patriot Act.”

Termination is comparatively minor, but there’s the threat of prosecution as well.

DHS doesn’ have the authority to “fire” the employees of the bank.

They can pressure the bank, but that’s different.

Hope there are some brafe bank employees out there.

“he DHS memo also stated that any bank employee that tells customers or members of the media of about the clandestine action “will be grounds for the immediate termination of the said employee or employees and their prosecution under the Patriot Act.”

I'd do it anyway -- and then bring up the DHS (and the bank if they complied) on civil and criminal charges.

Termination is comparatively minor, but there’s the threat of prosecution as well.

Termination for refusing to abridge the 4th Amendment? It would be a felony to comply: 18 USC S241/242.
