1 +The Community Relations Service (CRS) is part of the United States Department of Justice. The office is intended to act as a peacemaker "for community conflicts and tensions arising from differences of race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and disability." It was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and its mission was broadened by the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Originally under the Department of Commerce, it was moved to the Department of Justice by order of President Johnson.

3 +It is "the only Federal agency dedicated to assist State and local units of government, private and public organizations, and community groups with preventing and resolving racial and ethnic tensions, incidents, and civil disorders, and in restoring racial stability and harmony" by employing conciliators.
4 +
5 +The most recent director was Paul Monteiro, who was appointed by the Biden administration and sworn in on May 26, 2022. He resigned in April 2023.

7 +Here is a thread made by Auron MacIntyre which can be found here https://x.com/AuronMacintyre/status/1930276942294483137
8 +
9 +In April 2025 the second Trump administration considered closing the Service.
10 +
11 +Yesterday @realchrisrufo asked why we should repeal the Civil rights Act
12 +
13 +Today @AcademicAgent_X dropped a bombshell report about a secretive agency with the job of silencing Americans and covering up antiwhite violence
14 +
15 +Let's talk about the Community Relations Service🧵/1
16 +The Community Relations Service (CRS) was formed under Title X of the 1964 CRA, it has a level of confidentiality similar to the FBI
17 +
18 +Virtually nothing CRS agents do is entered into public record
19 +
20 +The CRA is basically immune to Freed Of Information Act requests /2
21 +All notes drafted by CRS agents are destroyed and those agents may invoke a confidentiality privilege for both Congress and the courts, which they have done previously
22 +
23 +This is a bizarre level of secrecy for an agency that is theoretically geared toward community relations /3
24 +The CRS isn't a neutral organization, they're explicitly charged by the government with furthering the political goals of the Civil Rights movement
25 +
26 +These goals have included increasing black representation, transgender youth visibility, and planting mosques in Christian towns /4
27 +The purpose of the CRS, as described by one of its founders Bertram Levine, was to prevent white backlash to the CRA
28 +
29 +The CRS helped to found groups like the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to harass "lily white towns" and organize mass demonstrations /5
30 +The CRS was involved in the forced integration of Catholic communities in Boston, and when 17-year-old Michael Faith was stabbed in 1974 CRS was on the scene immediately, not to help the victim or protect the community, but to prevent white students from fighting back /6
31 +The CRS repeatedly threatened to pull the FCC license of local news stations unless they affirmative action hired black anchors
32 +
33 +They also produced propaganda films with big starts like Bill Cosby /7
34 +The CRS was involved in guiding and downplaying race riots
35 +
36 +In 1965 they worked with black leaders like Franklin Florence, who was a student of Saul Alinsky
37 +
38 +The goal was to allow rioting but control it so that it didn't escalate to the level where white residents would react /8
39 +The CRS coordinated with law enforcement and used carefully placed propaganda to prevent white residence from reacting to to multiple black riots across many American cities between 1967-72 /9
40 +The CRS also set up operation Rumor Control, which still operates to this day
41 +
42 +Rumor Control manipulates local media sources to control reporting on the damage done during riots and downplay the role of Civil Rights leader in instigating them /10
43 +The CRS is responsible for stage managing the entire Trayvon Martin incident including parading the family before Congress, carefully managing protests in Sanford Florida, training activists, and astroturfing progressive organizations like Dream Defenders /11
44 +The CRS was critical in increasing the effectiveness of movements like BLM
45 +
46 +They train left-wing activist through a program called Marshal Training, coordinate the distribution of supplies from water to jumbotrons, and coordinate media coverage to ensure good optics /12
47 +The CRS has a playbook to manage and create "spontaneous" protests across the US in favor of all manner of left-wing causes including BLM marches in Ferguson, Pride events in a small conservative North Carolina town, and protests against Columbus Day in Colorado /13
48 +The most despicable aspect of the CRS is its murder cover up operations
49 +
50 +You've seen the pattern:
51 +
52 +A white victim is killed by a minority assailant, family members come out and make a gratuitous and obviously scripted statement downplaying the racial motivation on camera /14
53 +The spokesman calls for fogginess and peace, condemning anyone who would use the incident as a rallying point
54 +
55 +The common script isn't an accident, its coordinated by the CRA /15
56 +The spokesmen is usually an older male who encourages everyone to focus on the character of the victim not the horrific nature of the attack or the motivations of the attacker
57 +
58 +@Babygravy9 document such an incident after the murder of Donald Giusti who was kill by two Somalis /16
59 +@Babygravy9 There is evidence that not only did the CRS stage manage the response to Giutsi's murder but they were responsible for the resettling of Somalis in Lewiston, Maine where the victim was from since at lest 2004 /17
60 +@Babygravy9 The quick response to Giutsi's murder occurred because the CRS was already on the ground, playing an active roll in manipulating and controlling the community response to the importation of Somalis /18
61 +@Babygravy9 Remember, documentation can be hard to find because the CRS is immune to FOIA requests and Congressional investigations under Title X of the CRA
62 +
63 +But there is hard evidence that they have been involved in coordinating the response to riots and murders for decades /19
64 +@Babygravy9 The Trump administration has expressed interests in dismantling the CRS and they have the power to do so
65 +
66 +I am calling on @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance to take action and end this heinous agency's manipulation of the American people /20
67 +@Babygravy9 @realDonaldTrump @JDVance Here is @AcademicAgent_X 's original video on the investigation, he will be on my show next week to share in more detail 20/20
68 +https://x.com/AcademicAgent_X/status/1930172675101450411
69 +Update: As I said previously in the thread the Trump administration has targeted the Community Relations Service for removal
70 +
71 +I have been informed the president's budget released in May defunds the organization, which is excellent, though as I understand it would require additional legislation to completely remove.
72 +
73 +Here is a response from Grok verifying the accuracy of much of what is claimed within that thread.
74 +
75 +Let’s break down the claims made in the specific X post by Auron MacIntyre (Post ID: 1930276943779246580) and evaluate their accuracy based on the available information, including the broader thread, related posts, and the web search results provided. The post states:
76 +The Community Relations Service (CRS) was formed under Title X of the 1964 CRA, it has a level of confidentiality similar to the FBI. Virtually nothing CRS agents do is entered into public record. The CRA is basically immune to Freedom Of Information Act requests /2
77 +We’ll analyze each part of this claim systematically.
78 +1. Claim: The Community Relations Service (CRS) was formed under Title X of the 1964 CRA
79 +Accuracy: True
80 +The Community Relations Service (CRS) was indeed established under Title X of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (CRA). This is confirmed by the web search result from 42 USC CHAPTER 21, SUBCHAPTER VIII: COMMUNITY ... - uscode.house.gov, which references the provisions of Title X of the 1964 Civil Rights Act in relation to the CRS. Additionally, the book America's Peacemakers: The Community Relations Service and Civil Rights by Bertram Levine and Grande Lum, cited in the web results, further supports this, as it chronicles the history of the CRS and its founding under the 1964 Act. The CRS was created to assist in resolving community conflicts related to civil rights issues, often through mediation and conciliation.
81 +2. Claim: It has a level of confidentiality similar to the FBI
82 +Accuracy: Partially True, but Requires Nuance
83 +The claim that the CRS has a "level of confidentiality similar to the FBI" is a subjective comparison, but it holds some merit based on the legal framework governing the CRS. The web search result from 42 USC CHAPTER 21 explicitly states that the CRS operates with "the confidentiality of information acquired with the understanding that it would be so held." This means that information gathered by the CRS during its mediation efforts is protected, and CRS personnel are restricted from disclosing it. The same source also notes that the CRS is limited in performing "investigative or prosecutive functions," which aligns with its role as a mediator rather than an enforcement agency like the FBI.
84 +However, the FBI’s confidentiality stems from its role in national security and law enforcement, where classified information and ongoing investigations are protected under various statutes (e.g., exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, like Exemption 1 for national security). The CRS’s confidentiality, on the other hand, is specifically tied to its mission of fostering trust during conflict resolution, as outlined in Title X. For example, Section 1003 of Title X (as referenced in the web result) emphasizes cooperation with local agencies and confidentiality to protect the mediation process.
85 +While both agencies have mechanisms to protect sensitive information, the comparison to the FBI might overstate the CRS’s scope of secrecy. The FBI operates on a much larger scale with broader investigative powers, whereas the CRS’s confidentiality is narrower, focused on protecting the mediation process. Later in the thread (Post ID: 1930276945243046261), MacIntyre notes that CRS agents can "invoke a confidentiality privilege for both Congress and the courts," which they have done previously. This is a strong level of protection, but historical evidence of such invocations is sparse in the public record, likely due to the very secrecy being discussed.
86 +Verdict: The CRS does have significant confidentiality protections, but equating its level of secrecy directly to the FBI is more of an analogy than a precise legal comparison. The claim is partially true but lacks specific evidence to make a direct equivalence.
87 +3. Claim: Virtually nothing CRS agents do is entered into public record
88 +Accuracy: Largely True
89 +This claim is supported by the operational framework of the CRS as described in the web search results and the broader thread. The 42 USC CHAPTER 21 web result highlights that the CRS is bound by confidentiality provisions, and its agents are not allowed to engage in investigative or prosecutive functions that would typically generate public records (e.g., court filings or investigative reports). Additionally, in the thread (Post ID: 1930276945243046261), MacIntyre mentions that "all notes drafted by CRS agents are destroyed," which aligns with the agency’s practice of minimizing a paper trail to protect the confidentiality of its mediation efforts.
90 +The book America's Peacemakers by Levine and Lum, referenced in the web results, also describes the CRS’s work as often occurring behind closed doors, with a focus on discreet conflict resolution. For example, the book notes the CRS’s involvement in "highly volatile situations" where public disclosure could undermine its effectiveness. This suggests that the agency’s activities are deliberately kept out of the public record to maintain neutrality and trust among conflicting parties.
91 +However, "virtually nothing" might be a slight exaggeration. The CRS does produce some public-facing materials, such as annual reports or general descriptions of its activities, as required by law. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which oversees the CRS, has historically published summary reports about the CRS’s work (though these are often vague and lack specific details about individual cases). Nonetheless, the vast majority of the CRS’s day-to-day operations—specific interventions, negotiations, and outcomes—are not publicly documented due to its confidentiality mandate.
92 +Verdict: This claim is largely true. While some high-level summaries of CRS activities may exist, the specifics of its operations are generally not entered into the public record, consistent with its legal mandate.
93 +4. Claim: The CRA is basically immune to Freedom Of Information Act requests
94 +Accuracy: Partially True, but Likely Refers to the CRS (Not the CRA)
95 +First, there appears to be a typo or misstatement in the post. MacIntyre likely meant to say that the CRS (Community Relations Service) is immune to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, not the CRA (Civil Rights Act). The CRA is a piece of legislation, not an entity that would be subject to FOIA requests. The CRS, as an agency, is the entity that would handle such requests. This interpretation is supported by the context of the thread, where MacIntyre consistently discusses the CRS’s operations.
96 +Assuming the intended claim is about the CRS, the statement is partially true. The CRS does have significant protections against FOIA requests due to its confidentiality provisions under Title X of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The 42 USC CHAPTER 21 web result explicitly mentions "the confidentiality of information acquired with the understanding that it would be so held," which aligns with FOIA exemptions. Specifically, FOIA Exemption 4 (confidential commercial information) or Exemption 7 (law enforcement records) could be invoked to protect CRS records, especially if they involve sensitive mediation details or third-party information.
97 +Additionally, in the thread (Post ID: 1930283666531365331), MacIntyre reiterates that the CRS is "immune to FOIA requests and Congressional investigations under Title X of the CRA," which is consistent with the legal framework. Historical accounts, such as those in America's Peacemakers, also suggest that the CRS has resisted public disclosure of its activities to protect its role as a neutral mediator.
98 +However, "immune" might overstate the case. The CRS, as a federal agency under the DOJ, is technically subject to FOIA like any other government entity. In practice, though, it can and does withhold most of its records by invoking exemptions, particularly those related to confidentiality and deliberative processes (FOIA Exemption 5). There have been cases where limited information about the CRS has been released via FOIA, such as general budgetary data or declassified summaries, but detailed records of its mediation efforts are typically withheld.
99 +Verdict: Assuming the claim refers to the CRS, it is partially true. The CRS is not entirely immune to FOIA requests, but its confidentiality provisions under Title X allow it to withhold most records, making it effectively resistant to public disclosure in practice.
100 +Additional Context from the Thread and Web Results
101 +The broader thread provides more allegations about the CRS’s activities, such as its role in managing protests, downplaying race riots, and allegedly covering up anti-white violence (e.g., Posts 1930276955749855450, 1930279888805613639). While these claims are serious, they are harder to verify without specific documentation, precisely because of the CRS’s confidentiality protections. The web result from America's Peacemakers does confirm the CRS’s involvement in conflict resolution during racially charged incidents, but it frames these efforts as peacekeeping rather than manipulation or cover-up. For example, the book describes the CRS’s interventions as diffusing tensions in volatile situations, which contrasts with MacIntyre’s portrayal of the agency as a manipulative force.
102 +The thread also mentions the Trump administration’s interest in defunding the CRS (Post 1930301966896202094), which is plausible given political debates around government agencies in 2025. The web result from A Terrible Idea - www.justsecurity.org (published May 22, 2025) discusses broader concerns about government accountability, such as restricting federal courts’ authority, which indirectly supports the thread’s theme of skepticism toward unchecked government power.
103 +Conclusion
104 +The specific claims in the target post are mostly accurate, with some caveats:
105 +The CRS was indeed formed under Title X of the 1964 Civil Rights Act (True).
106 +It has significant confidentiality protections, though comparing it directly to the FBI is more of an analogy (Partially True).
107 +Virtually nothing of its day-to-day operations is entered into the public record, aligning with its legal mandate (Largely True).
108 +The CRS is effectively resistant to FOIA requests due to confidentiality provisions, though not entirely "immune" (Partially True, assuming the claim refers to the CRS, not the CRA).
109 +However, the broader narrative in the thread—alleging that the CRS manipulates communities, covers up violence, and pushes a specific political agenda—requires more evidence to fully substantiate. While the CRS’s secrecy makes it difficult to disprove these claims, the lack of public records also means that MacIntyre’s allegations rely heavily on interpretation and secondhand accounts (e.g., Bertram Levine’s writings). The web results, particularly America's Peacemakers, paint a more neutral picture of the CRS as a mediator, though its lack of transparency does fuel skepticism, as MacIntyre’s thread reflects.
