Over 100,000 such “knock and talk” visits have occurred. The FBI agents say “You haven’t done anything wrong yet, we just want to talk…”

Check Your Fact could not find any credible news report that suggests 100,000 homes of Trump supporters were visited by the FBI. No such order has been released or leaked from the FBI or White House.
The FBI has been ordered to investigate Catholic churches and used undercover agents in the investigations, according to National Review. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan released documents that showed the FBI used at least one undercover agent to infiltrate Catholic Churches.
The reports claims, “The documents reveal that the FBI also expressed an interest in “leverag[ing] existing sources and/or initiat[ing] Type 5 Assessments to develop new sources with the placement and access” to report on suspicious activity.”
The FBI also arrested a pro-life activist and Catholic Mark Houck in Pennsylvania, New York Post reported. Houck’s wife said in a statement, “SWAT team of about 25 came to my house with about 15 vehicles and started pounding on our door.” (RELATED: House Judiciary Committee Democrats Post About Impeachment Witness Lacks Context)
