FBI whistleblower's wife suspended from Facebook after sending a private message

Part of the reason Friend spoke out against the FBI was that he believed the January 6 investigations were violating constitutional rights.

President of Empower Oversight Whistleblowers and Research, Jason Foster, discusses the mistreatment of whistleblowers and their families when they come forward.

"The FBI is notorious for retaliating against whistleblowers," Jason Foster told the "Just the News, Not Noise" show Monday. "They're just getting smarter at it by using security clearances as a pretext."

FBI special agent Steve Friend is a whistleblower who spoke out against wrongdoing regarding the January 6 Capitol riot and as a result, he was suspended from his position.

According to Foster, Friend's wife had her account suspended on Facebook for merely having sent a private message.

"What's been reported to me is that his wife sent a private message to someone who had reached out through an intermediary and asked if there was any way that they could be helpful to Steve given what he was going through," Foster explained.

Friend's wife had responded by saying she was grateful that the person had reached out and said that the best way they could help was to share the story of what happened to Steve, since he got suspended after speaking out.

"Within 30 minutes, her Facebook account was was suspended," Foster explained. "She identified herself in the private message as Steve's wife."

Part of the reason Friend spoke out against the FBI was that he believed the January 6 investigations were violating constitutional rights.

"I believed the investigations were inconsistent with FBI procedure and resulted in the violation of citizens' Sixth and Eighth Amendment rights," Friend had written. "I added that many of my colleagues expressed similar concerns to me but had not vocalized their objections to FBI Executive Management."

We reached out, but the FBI has not responded for comment.

Biden’s DHS Extends ‘Temporary’ Amnesty for 3.3K Burmese Nationals

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending temporary amnesty status for thousands of Burmese nationals living in the United States who would otherwise be eligible for deportation.

On Monday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the Biden administration will extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 more months to nearly 3,300 Burmese nationals living in the United States.

“Under this extension and redesignation, Burmese nationals and habitual residents will be eligible to temporarily stay in the United States until conditions in the country improve and individuals can safely return,” Mayorkas said in a statement.

The TPS extension means nearly 1,000 current Burmese beneficiaries will be able to remain in the United States through May 2024, while another nearly 2,300 Burmese may become eligible for the status.

Mayorkas first opened TPS for Burmese nationals last year as hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, who would otherwise be deportable, take advantage of the status, including about 343,000 Venezuelans.

TPS serves as a quasi-amnesty for foreign nationals, created under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990 (INA), that prevents deportations for those from countries experiencing famine, war, or natural disasters.

Since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as the Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden administrations have continuously renewed the program for a variety of countries.

As of 2021, more than 400,000 foreign nationals live in the United States on TPS status.
