Bill overview
This bill, the Restrictions on Intelligence Assets in Protests Act, aims to limit the involvement of the intelligence community and federal law enforcement in monitoring individuals participating in First Amendment-protected protests. It prohibits the use of intelligence assets to investigate or conduct surveillance based solely on protest activity, with specific exceptions for the FBI, National Guard members in active service, and activities related to the Insurrection Act. The Director of National Intelligence is required to report to Congress on any intelligence community support provided during protests following the death of George Floyd.
