The New York Police Department managed to infiltrate Black Lives Matter and gain access to some of the group’s innermost leaders and information, documents show.
In February a judge had demanded the NYPD release written and video surveillance of BLM between 2014 and 2015 under the Freedom of Information Law. The documents, first reported by The Guardian, reveal intimate, specific details on protest locations and details.
None of the documents appear to indicate any criminal activity, which brings into question the NYPD’s infiltration of the group.
