Woman Receives FBI Visit Over X Post Criticizing Lax Sentencing of Man Who Murdered Cousin

The FBI visited a woman who last month sparked viral outrage on X by criticizing the Baton Rouge, La., judicial system for its decision to release the criminal who murdered her cousin.

On Thursday, Kam St. Martin (@KAM4Texas), uploaded security camera footage showing an FBI agent attempting to reach her at her home to ask questions.

Asked what the FBI visit was in reference to, the agent responded, “Um, it’s about the Baton Rouge subject.”

“The FBI came to my house over a TWEET!” St.Martin wrote in an X post. “Not cool. My pinned tweet that’s still up,” she added, tagging X owner Elon Musk.

The “Baton Rouge subject” referenced by the agent presumably pertains to a post by St.Martin last month which went viral with over 8.3 million views, in which she alleged the man who murdered her cousin last month was allowed to walk free.

“This monster drugged my 27 yr old cousin at the L’Auberge Casino in Baton Rouge last February,” St. Martin’s post stated, adding, “He dumped her half naked dead body like trash. Rap sheet a mile long. He walks today on PROBATION. Damion Matthews may you reap what you have sown.”

St. Martin revealed the agent claimed the FBI had received a death threat posed against a judge.

“He said a threat came into the FBI on judges lives. You can see I never mentioned a judge. 8.3 million views and thousands of comments,” she explained.

“I honestly don’t believe his story. I think the DA in Baton Rouge got butthurt,” she added.

She elaborated on the meeting in a subsequent reply:

The FBI snooping over an innocuous social media post didn’t sit well with X users, who accused the federal agency of overstepping its bounds and encroaching on citizens’ free speech rights.

Others pointed out they’ve seen similar videos in recent weeks of FBI visiting citizens at their homes over social media posts.

Here are some examples of other American citizens who’ve recently received FBI visits.

Still, others told St. Martin she should be proud she offended members of the “alphabet agencies.”

Many are also claiming the visit was intended to have a chilling effect meant to scare the woman into silence, or discourage her from making future critical social media posts.

Either way, the boundary between free speech and what the FBI deems problematic appears to be getting more blurred by the day.
