Three guesses who this unit will focus on. And I believe the term the Feds use for that last bit is called "lack of candor".

They will procure a very large mirror and try to figure out what they're up to on a day to day basis when not raiding the homes of those who criticize Brandon.

This should come in handy against Antifa when Trump is back in the White House.

Sanborn lists extreme views as anti-lockdown policies and "perceived" election fraud.

Sanborn says anti-government terrorists at home (read: Trump voters) are equal to ISIS, will be handled accordingly.
