Two female Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents descended upon the doorstep of Tracy Ketch, the mother of progressive pro-life activist Elise Ketch, last month. In a conversation publicized by The Daily Signal, the agents, Ashley Roberts and Kathleen Brown, asked Tracy if they could talk to Elise.
