OIG Hotline, please be aware that the FBI appears to allege that a "Brigadier General" has directed my older son to report for unknown directives in Palo Alto today, behind the locked gate of a private home, ostensibly used for a Settlers of Catan game related to LxSxxxx.
I regret that I do not have the means to verify the credibility of this allegation, but certainly am concerned for my son's safety and autonomy under these circumstances.
Most sincerely,
Lane MacWilliams
OIG Hotline, please see below my communications to your Office from my gmail account yesterday and today, February 6 and 7, 2026. Please note that this list is not complete.
Emails sent on February 6, 2026:
We are seeing an increased presence of federal agents in our cities across the United States at this time, and we will soon see increased National Guard deployments as well.
There are reasons for this that pertain to the national defense, entirely separate and apart from immigration issues, and, as a result, our government does not believe it is possible to withdraw these initiatives, defund the budgets of local or federal law enforcement, or for the public to reasonably expect that these deployments will diminish or cease in the short term.
Having said that, awards that have been extended in my case ought not to be appropriated for the funding of ICE surveillance, ICE arrests, ICE detentions, ICE transports, ICE deportations, ICE hiring, or ICE deployments in general.
I am deeply concerned by allegations that I or my family members may have been wrongfully designation as "domestic terrorists" by the DHS, at the specific directive of the FBI, for the express purpose of individual profiteering from funds awarded in this case. I hope that Secretary Noem will intervene in this matter to promptly remove any such wrongful claims.
I regret that I do not have the means of assessing the credibility of these allegations at this time.
However, I must express that I do not support ICE funding being drawn from this case in any way, shape or form.
To do so would represent a gross distortion of the entire intent of my case, which is the long term preservation of the human rights of Americans, and, by extension, those who are influenced by the long term human rights conduct of the United States.
Accordingly, I would respectfully request that any and all such allocations be decisively and permanently prohibited.
I will be the first to acknowledge that the mission and objectives of the FBI and its affiliates are profoundly difficult.
That's why my focus is on the long term rescue of Americans' human rights. That feat will require leadership of the highest character and integrity, and it can only succeed if America's wealth has not been sequestered by the enemies of human sovereignty, but rather saved and protected for better goals.
I ask for the support of all in the defense of funds awarded in my case, in the full knowledge that the long term freedom of our nation relies on our commitment to Americans' voices, their sovereignty, their humanity, their benevolence, their resilience, their honesty, and their good faith.
Let us be worthy of their trust, so that, knowing our efforts, they will say we served them well.
Most sincerely,
Lane MacWilliams
OIG Hotline, please be apprised that I am donating my 2010 Buick to a charity for disabled veterans, and my husband plans to donate a 1999 Mercedes ML320 to the same organization, donate.disabledvetscardonation.org.
These vehicles have been unused for a prolonged period of time.
Because of the risk of tampering with the vehicles, either on our property prior to pick up tomorrow, or afterwards, it is important for you to know that the vehicles reflect our honorable and lawful activity at all times.
It would not be difficult for the FBI or its affiliates to place drugs or other illicit substances or documents inside one or both of the vehicles, or to claim that planted evidence was "discovered by chance" when the vehicles were being cleaned by the charity.
As a result, this donation is likely important enough for your Office to be prepared ahead of time for any false reporting that may be associated with our efforts to support veterans through this charitable gift.
Thank you for allowing me to document this information promptly with your Office.
Most sincerely,
Lane MacWilliams

To reiterate, following herewith are the conditions on which any provision to my two sons and daughter-in-law may be made.
Thank you for your careful adherence to all requirements listed here.
Most sincerely,
Lane MacWilliams
