In October 2010, a day before "community activists" were expected to present [[subpoena]]ed documents to a [[grand jury]] in [[Chicago]], 68 organizations and dozens of public figures demanded an end to [[FBI]] investigations and grand jury subpoenas on Chicago and [[Minneapolis]] activists (mainly connected to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack!) accused of supporting [[terrorist]] groups in the [[Middle East]] and [[Latin America]] via a jointly signed letter. Signatories included the [[American Friends Service Committee]] (Western Region), National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and American-Arab anti-Discrimination Committee, as well as four [[San Francisco]] Supervisors, and Tlaib.
