Trump Official Denies Secret Watchlists; Journalist Reveals Their Existence
Multiple federal agencies are utilizing secret watchlists to track and categorize US citizens, particularly protesters and critics of law enforcement, as “domestic terrorists,” according to reporting. These watchlists, codenamed with names like Bluekey and Slipstream, are employed by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The lists are used to track individuals linked to anti-ICE protests, pro-Palestine activism, and those affiliated with antifa. The existence of these lists contradicts official denials and has raised concerns about the expansion of domestic surveillance, as the lists process tips, analyze social media, and allow for the linking of individuals.
