Pam Bondi wants the government to create cash bounties for turning in trans equality activistshttps://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/pam-bondi-wants-the-government-to-create-cash-bounties-for-turning-in-trans-equality-activists/ 🔗Faefyx Collington (16 Dec 2025)
A new Justice Department memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi instructs the FBI to create a "cash reward system" to incentivize providing information against domestic terrorists. However, it also makes it clear that the targets of such domestic terrorist investigations will be "Antifa-aligned extremists," including those promoting "radical gender ideology."
"The FBI shall establish a cash reward system for information that leads to the successful identification and arrest of individuals in the leadership of domestic terrorist organizations," the memo reads. The memo, dated December 5, was leaked.
Bondi's memo cites multiple laws that might be used to target domestic terrorism, but also lays out a clear vision for the priorities of the FBI in targeting suspected terrorists. Primary examples given are not the mass shootings and white supremacist actions that have plagued the nation; rather, the document names the "doxing of law enforcement" or the "violent efforts to shut down immigration enforcement."
While it raises the specter of extreme viewpoints, they are not the ones that previous studies have linked most domestic terrorism to. Bondi's memo suggests that the perpetrators are "certain Antifa-aligned extremists" and that their "animating principle is adherence to the types of extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment."
Hiding under the guise of national security, these supposed anti-domestic terrorism moves are more likely to be used against trans activists and immigration advocates.
