❗️Activists reject DOJ subpoenas in federal fishing expedition targeting philanthropist Fergie Chambers Two pro-Palestine activists subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice announced their absolute refusal to cooperate with an federal grand jury investigation targeting political donors and anti-war organizers. The Grayzone reveals that activists Bridget Shergalis and Sophie Ross—who previously served a 60-day sentence for direct action against an Elbit Systems military manufacturing facility in New Hampshire—declared in a public statement that they will invoke their constitutional right to remain silent when appearing in court on 4 November, risking potential imprisonment for civil contempt rather than giving testimony. The federal grand jury proceedings appear centered on anti-imperialist philanthropist Fergie Chambers, who has provided financial support to humanitarian initiatives in Gaza. Chambers has been held in Spain for over three months under an extradition request from Washington alleging money laundering linked to Palestinian resistance movements. Shergalis and Ross condemned the federal investigation as a legal "fishing expedition" designed to intimidate anti-genocide organizers, pledging total solidarity with targeted activists and framing their non-compliance as a duty to defend the global anti-imperialist movement. The subpoenas follow an aggressive crackdown by the Trump administration under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), an executive policy drafted by White House aide Stephen Miller directing federal law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute left-wing and anti-war organizations.
