JUDICIAL WATCH SUES JUSTICE OVER TASK FORCE ON “THREATS” TO
ELECTION OFFICIALS

[[link removed]]
The Biden administration has a nasty habit of trying to scare
Americans about asking questions about elections. The latest is a task
force chasing supposed threats to election officials.

We filed a FOIA suit against the Department of Justice for records
concerning this new task force (_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S.
Department of Justice_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-00735)).

We sued after the Justice Department failed to respond to an August
30, 2021, FOIA request for the following:

All records related to the Department of Justice’s August 2021
virtual meeting pertaining to threats to election officials
([link removed]).
This request includes, but is not limited to, the following:

All records created in preparation for, during, and/or pursuant to the
virtual meeting.

All records depicting the invitees to, and participants in, the
meeting.

All audio recordings, transcripts, and summaries of the meeting.
On August 26, 2021, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland convened a
“virtual discussion” with a bipartisan group of over 1,400
election officials to discuss “mounting and persistent threats to
the safety of election officials and workers across the country” and
to introduce DOJ’s recently launched Election Threats Task Force.
According to the readout
[[link removed]]
of the virtual meeting, “the Task Force is composed of the
Department’s Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, the
Civil Rights Division’s Voting and Criminal Sections, and the
National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section, as well as
the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division and the Department of
Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency.”

During the meeting, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta revealed
that the Civil Rights Division is participating in the Task Force and
has established “a helpline funded by the Office of Victims of Crime
that connects victims of crimes and threats to trained professionals
who can provide emotional support, information and referrals in over
200 languages.”

FBI Director Christopher Wray explained how “the FBI’s Election
Crimes Coordinators — FBI Special Agents across all 56 FBI Field
Offices — work with state and local election officials on election
crime matters.” Wray also emphasized, “the importance of reporting
all election-related threats and troubling communications to the FBI,
even if it is unclear whether there is a violation of federal law, so
that law enforcement can investigate, identify trends and share
information with partners across the country.” [Emphasis in
original]

The Biden Justice Department appears to be manufacturing another fake
crisis of “threats” against government officials. They’re doing
this to justify targeting American citizens for exercising their First
Amendment rights to demand election officials combat voter fraud and
conduct free and fair elections.

What is the Garland DOJ hiding?

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES HHS ABOUT RESEARCH INTO COVID-19 BOOSTERS

We’re probing a little-known federal agency, the Biomedical Advanced
Research and Development Authority (BARDA), to learn more about its
research into COVID-19 boosters.

We filed a FOIA suit against its parent Department of Health and Human
Services (_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-00730)) in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia.

We sued after HHS failed to respond to an August 23, 2021, FOIA
request for:

All data and studies submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech to the FDA,
including but not limited to BARDA, relating to “booster”
vaccinations for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The BARDA agency has been heavily involved with the development of
the COVID-19 vaccine. According to its website
[[link removed]


The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)
provides an integrated, systematic approach to the development of the
necessary vaccines, drugs, therapies, and diagnostic tools for public
health medical emergencies such as chemical, biological, radiological,
and nuclear (CBRN) accidents, incidents and attacks; pandemic
influenza (PI), and emerging infectious diseases (EID).
The American people deserve to know the data about COVID-19
vaccines and boosters, especially data hidden by little known but
powerful government agencies such as BARDA.

ASSAULTS AGAINST U.S. BORDER PATROL AGENTS UP 30% OVER LAST YEAR

The Biden border crisis is worsening and placing law enforcement lives
at risk. Our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog has the dire details
[[link removed]


It may be hard to imagine, but the situation along the Mexican border
appears to be worsening. Just months after government figures
disclosed unprecedented criminal activity, a distressing escalation in
drug smuggling and brazen attacks against federal agents, the U.S.
Border Patrol reveals an alarming 30% increase in assaults against
officers in the first five months of the fiscal year 2022, which
started in October. Back in mid-August, Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), the frontline Homeland Security agency charged with keeping
terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S., confirmed
[[link removed]]
that organized Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) are behind
the movement, and they are a serious threat to national security and
public safety.

The latest CPB stats
[[link removed]]
show that
agents are increasingly encountering violence on the job and a growing
number are coming under attack. So far, this fiscal year the agency
has recorded 194 agent assaults compared to 149 during the same period
in 2021. In the majority of cases, federal agents were physically
attacked by another person. The rest of the incidents mostly involved
rock-throwing and vehicular assault. In some of the attacks the
perpetrators used guns or knives, according to the agency. After a
recent case near the border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the
sector’s chief, Gloria Chavez, posted this on social media
[[link removed]
“USBP
Agents face threats every day on the border. Transnational criminal
organizations conduct counter-surveillance on our border operations
daily. Watch your 6, USBP!” The phrase, used by military and law
enforcement to say “watch your back,” originated with World War I
pilots who referred to the back of planes as the six o’clock
position.

Last year 618 customs and border officers were assaulted, according to
CBP, which began publicizing specific examples of the more serious
attacks later in the year. Among them were several Border Patrol
agents who came under gunfire in Texas and California. The agency
described
[[link removed]]
the assailants as TCOs, which “are heavily involved in smuggling
people, including terrorists, criminals and trafficking victims, as
well as weapons, cash, and drugs through sophisticated criminal
networks.” All those months ago, CBP confirmed that federal agents
are increasingly getting attacked and that life-threatening
confrontations are on the rise for agents working to secure
America’s borders. “In many cases, agents find themselves in
remote locations where they are significantly outnumbered and do not
have immediate backup,” CBP wrote in the statement released last
August. Even at Border Patrol checkpoints, smugglers are more brazen
than ever. Earlier this year a Mexican national trying to smuggle 10
illegal immigrants was sentenced to prison
[[link removed]]
for intentionally sideswiping and ramming multiple vehicles in 2021,
injuring several Border Patrol agents.

Though it appears to be at record highs, violence along the porous
southern border is hardly new and overwhelmed federal agents have long
risked their lives with weak support from the government. Under some
administrations their hands were essentially tied to appease the left.
For example, when Mexican drug-cartel violence was at the time at an
unprecedented high, the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
ordered federal agents on the frontline to “run away” and
“hide”
[[link removed]]
when encountering a shooter. DHS was headed by Janet Napolitano who
famously said the Mexican border “is as secure as it has ever
been” and that violence in the area is merely a mistaken
“perception.” During Napolitano’s delusional proclamation, the
situation was already so dire in Texas that officials created a
website to track Mexican drug-cartel violence
[[link removed]]
that transformed chunks of the southern border into a war zone. The
Texas Department of Agriculture started the website to keep farmers
and residents informed about the growing danger created by Mexican
drug cartels illegally crossing into the state. Cartels were invading
Texas farms and ranches, threatening citizens’ lives and
jeopardizing the nation’s food supply at an “increasingly alarming
rate,” then Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said, adding
that Washington was ignoring the crisis. That was more than a decade
ago. The problem has only gotten worse.
Until next week,
