Not anymore, environmental protesters are public enemy number 1 as far as they are concerned, not just the feds, but many states as well. Many passed draconian unconstitutional protest laws in effect illegalizing protests against critical infrastructure. Making impeding it, a very broad term that can encompass walking on their land, blocking a road as defined by them, causing a disturbance, etc., a serious felony punishable by ten plus years in prison, and in some making organizers and promoters of protests liable for all the protesters. Meaning agent provokateurs can break something and they can fine the organizers or group that posted the protest on their facebook page 100k or whatever it is, plus damages.
Said laws were passed in response to the standing rock and other protests halfway through the president’s first term, as reported in the Intercept.
Then you have private RICO cases like the one is North Dakota was it? Where they railroaded greenpeace in a ridiculous kangaroo court.
Read monkey wrench gang.
The only people the FBI loves to investigate more are civil rights activists.
