This is how debanking works. Political opponents are categorized by regulators as “high risk”. If a bank continues banking them, it opens itself up to investigations, exam findings, enforcement actions, etc. As a result, banks have little choice but to end these customer relationships. Not doing so becomes an existential risk to the bank itself. Because of the Patriot Act, banks have no obligation to tell the customer why, and in many cases are not even allowed to.
