Garland will testify before the panel on Thursday in an oversight hearing where he\u2019ll face questions from lawmakers on a number of issues.<\/p>\n<p>The official could be asked about the ongoing border crisis as well as his memo on probing alleged threats against school board members by parents. Garland has notably drawn scrutiny from GOP lawmakers over the memo, which some are concerned may hamper parents\u2019 free speech rights.<\/p>\n<p>The memo included issues surrounding critical race theory and domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile spirited debate about policy matters is protected under our Constitution, that protection does not extend to threats of violence or efforts to intimidate individuals based on their views,\u201d Garland\u2019s memo stated in regards to parents in opposition of critical race theory being taught at their children\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS:<\/p>\n<p>Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudiciaryGOP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JudiciaryGOP<\/a> sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for an ethics inquiry into his memo directing the FBI to mobilize against parents who protest at local school board meetings. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y9f9rqhEX0\">pic.twitter.com\/Y9f9rqhEX0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

No, it is the attorney general of the United States that is intimidating people exercising their rights to free speech and the right to petition their government,\u201d said the senator.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-bidens-asylum-proposals-to-fuel-more-illegal-arrivals\/\">GOP: Biden\u2019s Asylum Proposals To Fuel More Illegal Arrivals<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 APRIL 26: U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivers a statement at the Department of Justice on April 26, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
