Washington's crackdown on pro-Palestinian students has extended to one of the largest US teachers unions, as federal prosecutors demand access to membership information and internal records, The Intercept reported Nov. 13.
￭ The intercept released federal grand jury subpoenas issued in August 2026 to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and its University of Michigan affiliate, the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO).
￭ Federal prosecutors demanded "a record of all active and former union members," along with personnel records, financial documents and internal minutes of meetings beginning in January 2023, according to subpoenas reported by the intercept.
￭ "They're using this language around conspiracy," GEO communications director Natalie Chen told The Wire.
