Washington – New reports indicate that during former President Joe Biden's administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted a massive investigation dubbed "Arctic Frost," which included surveillance and inquiries into various conservative groups and organizations, including Turning Point USA, founded by the recently murdered activist Charlie Kirk.

According to sources close to the investigation, this operation was presented internally as an effort to identify "domestic extremist" networks that could pose threats to national security. However, critics argue that the investigation was disproportionately used to scrutinize groups linked to American conservatism, opening the door to accusations of political persecution.

In addition to Turning Point USA, the operation reportedly included student organizations, online forums, and local associations that promote agendas close to the Republican right. Although no official details have been released, it has emerged that the FBI collected financial data, private communications, and records of public activities from its members.

Conservative leaders accuse the strategy of discrediting and monitoring political opponents, rather than responding to real threats.

The alleged operation generated a wave of criticism among Republican lawmakers, who called "Arctic Frost" an abuse of federal power. Senator Josh Hawley declared that the investigation constitutes "a clear example of how the national security apparatus was used as a political tool against American citizens whose only 'crime' was to disagree with the government."

For their part, FBI spokespersons have avoided providing specific statements, reiterating only that "every investigative operation is governed by legal criteria and internal protocols that seek to protect the security of Americans."
