Congressional Republicans are finally fighting back against the dangerous “swatting” attacks terrorizing conservatives nationwide. Representative Clay Higgins has launched a full-scale investigation into these politically motivated hoaxes, which put lives at risk simply for holding patriotic beliefs. This crucial probe comes as law enforcement appears disturbingly slow to act—raising serious concerns about the protection of conservative Americans in an increasingly hostile climate.
MAGA Under Attack: Conservatives Targeted in Dangerous “Swatting” Trend
Chairman Clay Higgins of the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement has initiated a crucial investigation into the alarming rise of “swatting” incidents specifically targeting conservative Americans. These dangerous pranks involve anonymous callers reporting fake emergencies to trigger heavily armed police responses at innocent victims’ homes, putting patriots and their families in potentially deadly situations.
The Louisiana Republican has formally reached out to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel demanding answers about what actions are being taken to protect conservative Americans from these politically motivated attacks. Swatting incidents have become a favorite tactic of the radical left, designed to terrorize conservative voices and potentially provoke deadly confrontations between armed police and unsuspecting citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

Law Enforcement Leaders Called to Account for Rising Attacks
Chairman Higgins’ letter specifically requests a staff-level briefing from the Department of Justice and FBI regarding their efforts to investigate these incidents and hold perpetrators accountable. The investigation comes as conservatives across the country report being targeted for their political beliefs, with anonymous callers falsely reporting emergencies such as shootings, bombings, or hostage situations at their homes.
These politically motivated attacks represent a direct assault on Americans’ First Amendment rights, using fear and intimidation to silence conservative voices in the public square. Law enforcement resources are being weaponized against innocent citizens through false reports, diverting critical emergency services while putting both responding officers and targeted families in unnecessary danger.
Demanding Accountability and Action to Protect Conservative Americans
The Subcommittee has set a deadline of April 9, 2025, for the DOJ and FBI to provide a comprehensive briefing on their response to these targeted attacks. This investigation represents a critical step in protecting conservative Americans from what many view as a coordinated campaign of intimidation and harassment designed to silence political opposition through fear and the threat of violence.

Chairman Higgins’ action reflects growing concern that federal law enforcement agencies have been slow to respond to threats against conservatives while rapidly mobilizing against perceived threats from the right. The investigation will examine whether political bias has influenced the federal response to these dangerous incidents that disproportionately target conservative voices, media figures, and elected officials.
The rise in swatting incidents represents yet another front in the ongoing culture war against traditional American values and the MAGA movement. By demanding accountability from top law enforcement officials, Chairman Higgins is standing up for the constitutional rights of all Americans to express their political views without fear of harassment, intimidation, or the threat of violence from those who seek to silence conservative voices.
