Among the records being sought by Judicial Watch are those concerning "Moms for Liberty," a nationwide advocacy group working empower parents to defend their parental rights.
In a March 21, 2023 report on the Garland memo, the House Judiciary Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government cited FBI data which states that 25 inquiries under the threat tag "EDUOFFICIALS" had been opened since the bureau began tracking the alleged incidents.
In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on October 21, 2021, Garland said that he based his memo off of a letter from the National School Board Association that labeled parents as "Domestic terrorists." The National School Boards Association later issued an apology for the letter.
The House committee report concluded that Biden administration officials "Colluded" with school board association leaders "To create a justification to use federal law-enforcement and counterterrorism resources against parents."
"The Biden administration sicced the FBI on political opponents - parents who objected to left-wing and sex propaganda being forced on children at schools," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"The American people deserve to know the full details of how and why their government surveilled Americans accused of being 'domestic terrorists' simply for exercising their First Amendment rights to protect their children at school board meetings."
Judicial Watch filed a related lawsuit in December 2021 for all FBI records related to the October 4, 2021, memorandum issued by Attorney General Garland targeting parents with objections to Critical Race Theory in schools.
