Conservative Group Prepares List of Federal Employees Opposed to Trump Policies

American Accountability Foundation aims to identify and publicize federal workers who may resist a potential second-term Trump agenda.

The group, backed by a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, plans to publish the names of 100 federal employees online this summer.
The effort has alarmed democracy experts and civil service communities, drawing comparisons to McCarthyism.
The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 supports this initiative as part of broader preparations for a conservative administration.
The list targets high-ranking career officials, particularly within the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies related to immigration and border control.
Critics argue that this initiative is an intimidation tactic intended to undermine the federal workforce and democracy.
