"US attorney general Pam Bondi has instructed the FBI to place bounties on trans activists promoting "radical gender ideology," a leaked memo suggests. The Trump administration's chief legal advisor instructed the US security service to create a "cash reward system" incentivising members of the public to share information on what the attorney's office described as "domestic terrorist groups." These groups, according to Bondi, include groups or individuals promoting so-called "radical gender ideology" and "hostility towards traditional values on family, religion, and morality.""
"Orders were issued in response to a memorandum, signed by Donald Trump in the wake of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk's assassination in September, which aims to combat when the US president has routinely called the "enemy within." The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) called the memorandum, dubbed NSPM-7, a "fever dream of conspiracies" and "outright falsehoods" which, they argued, was designed to silence Trump's political opponents."
US Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed the FBI to establish a cash reward system to incentivize public reporting on groups labeled as domestic terrorists. The directive targets groups or individuals described as promoting "radical gender ideology" and hostility toward traditional family, religion, and morality. The orders followed a memorandum signed by Donald Trump after the assassination of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk and cite NSPM-7. The ACLU condemned NSPM-7 as conspiratorial and aimed at silencing political opponents. Bondi asserted that cash bounties would aid enforcement and enable prosecution under domestic terrorism provisions, including conspiracy charges.
