H.R.4971 - Terrorist Watchlist Data Accuracy and Transparency Act
119th Congress (2025-2026)
Sponsor: Rep. Thompson, Bennie G. [D-MS-2] (Introduced 08/15/2025)
Committees: House - Homeland Security
Bennie is a Democrat and a Deep Stater. He has served on the Homeland Security Committee for many years, and voted to re-approve FISA 702 every time. He is not interested in transparency or accuracy - only what his C1A handlers tell him to do. Nancy Pelosi/Jeffries tell him how to vote, and he follows orders. The Deep State is up to something. We will follow it…

What’s Wrong with House Bill HR4971?
-
The Watchlist was authorized by Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-6). It has never been authorized by Congress. This is a sneaky way to legitimize this illegal and unconstitutional list. Per the Office of Inspector General (OIG), 97% of the names have “No known ties to terrorism.”
-
The Bill basically says that anything authorized by the Watchlisting Advisory Council is pre-approved. The criminals on this Council are mind-controlled Deep Staters. The C1A controls them.
-
An audit will be performed to determine - “If all information contained in each such Department nomination is free from error.” The problem is - they won’t review the reason that the person was nominated! They will simply double check your address, birthday, phone number, etc.
-
They are admitting there will be successors to the Watchlist, because it will eventually be shut down by a US Court case. “… successors of such watchlist or other terrorism databases.”
-
The Bill asks for a report each year, for the number of corrections issued. They are not interested in the total number of people contained on the Watchlist or TSDB. Outrageous.
-
The Intercept published a leaked version of “Watchlisting Guidance,” proving that it is grossly illegal.
