Common Dreams described NSPM-7 as a directive that \"tramples the First Amendment in weaponizing the federal government to root out his political adversaries.\" The reports also quoted labour rights media organisation More Perfect Union calling the indictment of the 15 organisers \"the biggest story in America\" and stating that \"the Trump administration's approach to dissent is to exhaust every avenue to put dissenters in federal prison.\""],"centre":[],"right":["The single right-rated digest from the Marietta Daily Journal led on the methods used in the investigation, stating that Homeland Security investigators \"secretly recorded conversations, infiltrated Signal chats and obtained financial records for labor unions and progressive groups.\" The digest did not mention the lack of evidence, the targeting of First Amendment-protected activity, or the political context of NSPM-7.
