A lawsuit has been filed against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for not releasing information regarding surveillance of Black Lives Matter protesters and activists.
The Center for Constitutional Rights and the Milton A. Kramer Law Clinic Center at Case Western Reserve University School of Law filed the suit, stating that DHS has been unlawfully collecting information on peaceful BLM protests.
“Surveillance undertaken by Defendants and LEAs [law enforcement agencies] to monitor MBL [Movement of Black Lives] activities has relied on tactics and measures commonly reserved for counterterrorism and national security related purposes,” the suit states.
