On August 7, 2024, the FBI conducted a raid on the home of Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst, in Delmar, New York.
The raid was related to an investigation into Ritter’s potential violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Ritter, known for his critical views on U.S. foreign policy and allegations of corruption in Ukraine, had his electronic devices and other items confiscated during the search.
The incident has sparked discussions on social media about freedom of speech and government intimidation, with many expressing support for Ritter and criticizing the FBI’s actions.
