Arresting someone for spreading misinformation about FEMA (or any government agency) that leads to serious consequences, such as death threats against FEMA personnel, involves several complex legal considerations. Here’s a breakdown of relevant laws, FBI options, and potential actions:

Legal Options for Arrest and Investigation

  1. Federal Laws on Incitement and Threats

    • 18 U.S. Code § 875(c): It is illegal to transmit threats to injure another person through interstate communication (e.g., internet or phone).
    • Incitement to Violence: If the person’s actions are found to encourage imminent lawless action, they could fall under Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969). The key requirement is whether the statements are intended to incite or produce imminent violence and are likely to do so.

  2. Obstruction of Government Operations

    • Spreading intentional falsehoods that interfere with FEMA’s emergency functions or harm its personnel could fall under 18 U.S. Code § 111 (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees).
    • Additionally, 18 U.S. Code § 371 (Conspiracy to Defraud the United States) could apply if the misinformation deliberately disrupts government functions or is part of a coordinated effort.

  3. Terroristic Threats or Domestic Terrorism Laws

    • If threats against FEMA personnel are deemed serious enough, the FBI may treat them under domestic terrorism statutes if they aim to intimidate or coerce government agencies.

Options for the FBI

  1. Monitoring Social Media and Communications

    • The FBI may begin surveillance of public communications and social media to monitor for escalating threats tied to misinformation campaigns.

  2. Open Investigation on Incitement to Violence

    • The FBI could investigate the source of the misinformation to determine if there is intent to incite violence. Statements would be evaluated on intent, context, and effect, and whether the individual knowingly spread falsehoods with reckless disregard for safety.

  3. Coordination with FEMA and DOJ

    • The FBI can coordinate with FEMA and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to issue warnings or public statements to counter the misinformation campaign, or file civil injunctions against those spreading dangerous falsehoods.

  4. Interviews and Subpoenas

    • The FBI can interview individuals involved in spreading the misinformation or issue subpoenas to gather evidence of communications that might show intent to cause harm or impede FEMA’s operations.

  5. Referral for Prosecution

    • If evidence supports the charges (e.g., incitement, obstruction, or conspiracy), the FBI can refer the case to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.

Challenges to Arrest or Prosecution

  • First Amendment Protections: While the First Amendment protects free speech, it does not protect speech intended to incite violence or lawless action. However, proving intent is difficult.
  • Public Figure Considerations: If the individual is a public figure (such as Trump), law enforcement must tread carefully. The FBI would need strong evidence that the person knowingly spread lies and intended to incite harm.

Summary

While arresting someone for spreading lies is challenging due to free speech protections, if there is evidence that the statements incited imminent violence or resulted in actionable threats, the FBI can investigate and pursue criminal charges. Their response could range from surveillance, subpoenas, public warnings, to criminal referrals if laws against incitement or threats are violated.

I cant tell in the wording that the author doesn't want people to get vaccinated. This is FDA approved now!  When I was a kid, we never thought about not being vaccinated for Mumps, Chicken Pox, smallpox, and Polio. Trump is directly responsible for this right wing insanity, it is killing people in Florida, Alabama, Missippi, and other southern states. Once again the South Dakota Biking rallys has generated thousands of new cases.  It is so bad in the south due to Trump Syndrome that the disinformation as show above is allowing the number of cases to escalate.  No matter how many vaccines you get there will always be a 1-5% of the population that cannot create antibodies for various disesase. This is a revolutionary vaccine that is MrNA based, most vaccines use a dead virus to activate the immune system in the human body. This disease 1st infected Pangalons, Bata, Humans, and Deer, Cats, and Dogs. This rare cross species Covid-21 Lamda variant will affect our society for years as l

      Welcome to the new order of reality that used to be science fiction with 1984 George Orwell and the Man in the High Castle. Here are the real directories order by our new Uber Trump! 1. Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services were reportedly directed “not to send any correspondence to public officials (to include Members of Congress and state and local officials) between now and February 3, unless specifically authorized by the Department.” 2.

The President Needs a Psychiatrist

      How can we insure that the person who becomes the president of the United States or a member of Congress and various branches of the government is of sound mind. Why don't we dismiss those that are mentally ill, or in Eagleton's case he stopping running for vice-president with McGovern, when it was found out that he had a seen a Psychiatrist.       In a bid to warn the public, psychologists are publishing their diagnoses of Trump. Most recently, John D. Gartner said Trump “is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.”       Why do we scold someone who admits a problem and seeks help for it, but when we have a man who think he is a demogogue and our new emperor and king like Nixon not given a psychological evaluation to their mental fitness. Does money buy a bi-polar, mentally ill individual the right to a seat of power regardless of the consequences to the nation or planet.      We have people who are very religious in this
