Demand an immediate investigation into the FBI's raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative and call for Kash Patel's removal as director. What happened in Cleveland was not law enforcement. It was a coordinated intimidation campaign against a voter registration group that has done nothing wrong. Agents showed up at canvassers' homes, followed staff to work and school, and in some cases approached people without warrants. That is not how a legitimate investigation operates.
This raid fits a clear pattern. Federal agents have recently launched inquiries into voting protocols in Georgia and Wisconsin, subpoenaed voting records in Arizona, and sought reviews of voting machines in Puerto Rico. The target is always the same: voting infrastructure in swing states, timed to suppress participation before elections. OOC board member Prentiss Haney called it what it is — "straight-up intimidation tactics" — and he's right.
Kash Patel has no business running this agency and should be removed as director. He has misappropriated FBI resources and staff for personal use, and agents have raised alarms about his conduct and fitness for the role. Speak out publicly against this raid, demand accountability for Patel, and use every tool available to stop this administration from weaponizing federal law enforcement against voters.
