No one besides the most extreme anti-civil rights zealots support laws through which ex-lovers, disgruntled employees, nosy neighbors, and former roommates can file orders of protection against others, and have those peoples' civil rights violated.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, launched an investigation Thursday morning into the Biden administration’s recently announced National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.
“Extreme risk protection order” is lefty-speak for red flag law.
Breitbart News reported that Vice President Kamala Harris (D) announced the launch of the center on Saturday, along with $750 million in funds that will be given to it by the Biden administration.
Jordan then used to the letter to highlight the myriad problems with red flag laws, including the threat such laws pose to due process:

These laws are ripe for abuse as the list of individuals who can petition a court for an extreme risk protection is expansive. For example, in Hawaii, a former roommate or even a disgruntled employee can file for an extreme risk protection order. In California, a former roommate, employee, a former girlfriend or even someone in a “dating relationship” with an individual is able to file a petition for an extreme risk protection order.
Additionally, many jurisdictions merely require that a showing of probable cause be met in order to seize an individual’s firearms and ammunition and to prohibit that individual from purchasing or possessing any firearms or ammunition. Probable cause is an astonishingly low standard to deprive an individual of his or her constitutional rights without an allegation of criminal activity or an opportunity for the individual to be heard. Currently, fifteen states have laws that will grant an extreme risk protection order using this low standard.
