Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and 19 of his GOP colleagues sent a letter Friday to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding answers for a leaked FBI memo that says the agency was targeting Catholics as 'violent extremists.'
by Fox News Digital, told the FBI and DOJ to"desist from investigating and surveilling Americans who have done nothing more than exercise their natural and constitutional right to practice their religion in a manner of their choosing" and asked that they"reveal to the American public the extent to which they have engaged in such activities."
"We are the chief legal officers of our respective States charged not only with enforcing the law, but also with securing the civil rights of our citizens," they continued."The FBI must immediately and unequivocally order agency personnel not to target Americans based on their religious beliefs and practices," they said, adding that they will take"and appropriate means to protect the rights of our constituents as guaranteed by our Constitution.
"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product — disseminated only within the FBI — regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI," the statement read. The memorandum deploys"alarmingly detailed theological distinctions to distinguish between the Catholics whom the FBI deems acceptable, and those it does not," the AGs write.
