I don't know what the fuck he did to get on the FBI radar

....

Dude is just protesting the construction of a large cop training facility near him.

That is what did it.

    i mean, the broad strokes are obvious, but if they went after every person who was vocal about something being build in their backyard, they'd need the whole of ICE to staff themselves. He must have been saying some shit to an insider. Come to think of it, I bet they have a pretty fucking big online presence for that purpose.

    He associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest, which due to being against Cop City, has been flagged as a terrorist organization by the fascists in charge.

    There is literally no other reason to be found.

    His lawyers have already found (through internal CBP emails) that they flagged him for suspected terrorism because he was associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest.

    They internally categorized the group as anti-government, anti-authority, and a violent extremist group.

    He protested against Cop City and associated with a non-violent, peaceful org that also protested against Cop City. Thats it.
