OK...fair to ask...are they going to go after the attorneys and other bureaucrats that weaponized government against these farmers? This can never happen again where government intimidates and bankrupts people using our court systems to wear them down. I want 6:30am raids on their homes with CNN cameras, please. I want jail time for those people who did this.
Probably not unless it was way outside of bounds. There's a lot of discretion on these matters (hence why elections and political involvement of the public matter).
But you can probably rest-assured those same people have other proclitivites they'll be charged on..
It's called deprivation of rights under color of law and it should be severely prosecuted because one of the potential penalties for it is death. Another penalty is life in prison.
Amos Miller, farmer up in PA, Amish I believe, in the ongoing thing with the FDA.
Here's a Brave AI synopsis
Amos Miller's Organic Farm is currently facing legal challenges related to the FDA. The FDA defines raw milk as milk from cows, sheep, or goats that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. In 1987, a FDA regulation mandated that all milk sold in interstate commerce must be pasteurized, effectively banning the selling of raw milk from state to state. However, the FDA does not prohibit an individual from purchasing raw milk and transporting it across state lines for their own personal consumption. For example, under the federal regulations, an Arkansas farmer who produces and sells raw milk would not be able to sell their raw milk product to a consumer in Missouri.
Miller’s Organic Farm is a private membership association that ships traditional Amish farm foods directly to members' doorsteps. The farm does not sell products to the public, but a lifetime membership to the private association can be obtained by paying a one-time fee. Miller's farm can ship to its members across state lines but cannot send food within the state of Pennsylvania.
Since 2016, Amos Miller's farm has been subject to federal investigation due to a Listeria outbreak that killed one person in Florida and sickened another in California, which was traced to raw milk from Miller’s farm. In January 2024, Miller's farm was raided by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) due to two cases of foodborne illness linked to Miller’s products.
The FDA is not currently involved in the litigation, but the case remains ongoing. Judge Sponaugle determined that Miller should not be allowed to "ignore this Commonwealth’s regulations" by selling raw milk without a permit because doing so would "usurp the authority and responsibility of the Pennsylvania General Assembly." Judge Sponaugle later amended the order to clarify that Miller was only enjoined from marketing and selling raw milk and raw milk products within Pennsylvania.
Miller’s attorney states that internal documents of the United States Department of Agriculture reveal agents laughing about putting the farmer in prison, but federal judges have not been enthusiastic about shutting down this artisan food club. The federal government is allowing his food club down in their jurisdiction: interstate commerce.
Since 2016, the meat and poultry sales of Amish farmer Amos Miller have been subject to federal investigation and enforcement. The obvious question has been: when would the government move against his raw dairy operation? That shoe dropped on January 4, 2024, when agents from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) raided Miller’s Organic Farm in response to two cases of foodborne illness linked to Miller’s products.
I read articles of Federal Government employees screwing over Joe Citizens but I never read the out come Why? There should be a site site .Gov addressing every article every out come. Why as a society we get inundated with these news articles of wrong doing but not one article to close the chapter

You will probably never see it.
I hope Amos sees this!
Now do the rest of the garbage that keeps us from eating fresh, pure products!
