The FBI opened preliminary investigations into protesters in at least one case after Donald Trump demanded an investigation of demonstrators he saw in footage of a protest against ICE and CBP in Alhambra, California. The protesters were using bullhorns during demonstrations against immigration enforcement. The report is drawing criticism from people who see it as the FBI acting on a president's personal political grievances against citizens exercising free speech.
Why now: It raises concerns about politically motivated use of federal law enforcement against Trump's critics.
