COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) remains one of the most contentious and clandestine operations in American history. Initiated by the FBI in 1956, COINTELPRO operated covertly to surveil, infiltrate, discredit, and disrupt civil rights groups, political organizations, and individuals deemed subversive or threatening to national security.
