According to the media report, the AAF plans to compile and publish a list of 100 federal employees who may be hostile to President Trump's policies, starting with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“We need to understand who these people are and what they do,” AAF chief Tom Jones said.

According to the Associated Press, the AAF's goal is to highlight these disruptive actors so that others can criticize, reclassify, reassign or fire them if necessary.
