Suit alleges Homeland Security targeted people observing, protesting immigration agents
A federal lawsuit alleges the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) illegally recorded individuals observing and protesting immigration enforcement, including during a deadly January operation in Minneapolis. The suit claims DHS violated privacy laws, administrative procedures, and the First Amendment by using facial recognition and license plate readers to track protesters and revoking their participation in trusted traveler programs like TSA Precheck and Global Entry.
