Dear Attorney General Madigan,

I write to request that your of?ce launch an immediate investigation into the recent actions
undertaken in the state of by TigerSwan, a private security ?rm headquartered in
North CarolinaTigerSwan was contracted by Energt Transfer Partners, another out?of?
state entity, to conduct intelligence gathering activities related to its development of the
Dakota Access Pipeline. As detailed below, we strongly believe that Ti gerSwan engaged in
illegal surveillance activities against me and other employees and supporters of Food 3:
Water Watch (FWW) in a manner that is violates our state constitutional and statutory
rights, including our rights of privacy. in order to protect the rights of the people of 
it is imperative that you investigate TigerSwan

FWW is a non-pro?t advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, with of?ces across
the country, including in Chicago. Out Chicago of?ce and staff engage in several advocacy
campaigns related to FWW's core issues, including efforts to shift our energy economy
away from dirty fossil fuels to clean reoewables sources as soon as possible. As such, we
are opposed to new fossil fuel infrastructure like the Dakota Access Pipeline and continue
to mobilise our members, including the nearly timid] located in Illinois. to join in our
opposition. Dur efforts involve all constitutionally protected approaches: public
demonstrations, educational workshops, outreach and political pressure.

We recently received an anonymous tip that an agent or agents of TigerSwan were
in?ltrating volunteer meetings to gather intelligence. Some of TigerSwan's internal
documents were recently released to the public con?rming this information; we discovered
that some of their surveillance activities against FWW were noted within those documents.
We now have reason to believe that these in ?ltrators were recording our conversations,
photographing participants and PW sta?and perhaps making videos of our meetings.
TigerSwan documents also detail that it was working closely in conjunction with state and
federal law enforcement authorities and turning much of the material it gathered over to
these authorities.

As you know. the Illinois Constitution recognises rights to privacy for state
residents. In addition, state statutes address and make illegal various eavesdropping
activities, including, arguably, those that TigerSwan engaged in against FWW. Since we do
not have full access to all of Tiger?wans activities and documents, their actions in the state
may also implicate other state criminal and civil laws.

Given your role in "protecting the public interest of the state and it's people,? we believe
that you should launch an investigation into TigerSwan?s activities in the state, including
targeting state citizens and organisations; in?ltrating gatherings; photographng and

recording conversations and meetings; and providing potentially illegally gathered
information to state and federal law enforceme nt agencies. As both an employee of FWW
and a resident of the state. believe that such an investigation is vital to protecting the
people of Illinois against this unwarranted invasion of privacy

l?d like to request a meeting with you to discuss this issue further and provide you with any
ether information you may maed and answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely

i f.
