In St. Louis and Florida, members of the African People's Socialist Party had their homes raided by combat-clad FBI agents using flash grenades and drones. FBI told them they're under suspicion of conspiring with Russia.

At a news conference Friday, Chairman Omali Yeshitela said he and his wife were handcuffed during the raid as investigators searched their home. He said the #FBI threw flash grenades into his home and performed the raid without knocking or showing him a search warrant.

Yeshitela said the FBI believes the #Uhuru Movement and African People’s Socialist Party may somehow be involved with Russia’s tampering in U.S. elections.

“What they have claimed is that they are indicting someone, a Russian nationalist who is in #Russia,” Yeshitela said. “They have claimed that they were investigating the African People’s Socialist Party that I lead in the Uhuru Movement because of some association that we might have with the Russian government.”
