Code Pink is an activist group known for its anti-war protests and has been scrutinized in recent years by lawmakers over its foreign policy positions and reported interactions with international actors. Senator Tom Cotton has previously raised concerns about foreign influence operations targeting U.S. organizations. The State Department has increased efforts to monitor potential foreign influence activities in the United States in response to growing bipartisan concern over such threats.
