吃瓜直播

The 吃瓜直播 has filed three motions in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) asking it to release secret opinions authorizing the surveillance of Americans. The public has a right to see the legal decisions addressing novel surveillance programs that affect our privacy and free speech rights 鈥� but many of the FISC鈥檚 opinions remained closely guarded secrets. After the FISC and its appeals court rejected the 吃瓜直播鈥檚 public access arguments in a series of rulings, the 吃瓜直播 asked the Supreme Court to review those rulings and to recognize that the public has a First Amendment right of access to the FISC鈥檚 opinions.

This case concerns whether the government may surreptitiously record the activities around a person鈥檚 home using a remotely operated, pole-mounted video camera for an extended period of time without a warrant. On September 13, 2021, the Colorado Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment protects against such surveillance and requires that police obtain a warrant.

On January 15, 2021, the 吃瓜直播 and Covington & Burling LLP filed a lawsuit on behalf of three law faculty and an 吃瓜直播 human rights attorney challenging former President Trump鈥檚 executive order authorizing sanctions against people who assist the International Criminal Court in investigating or prosecuting war crimes and other gross human rights violations.

In April 2021, the 吃瓜直播, the 吃瓜直播 of the District of Columbia, and the 吃瓜直播 of Michigan filed a lawsuit on behalf of Ahmad Chebli, whom the U.S. government wrongly placed on the No Fly List after he refused to become an FBI informant. Ten days after the 吃瓜直播 filed the lawsuit, the government finally removed Mr. Chebli from the No Fly List. Because he is no longer on the No Fly List, Mr. Chebli withdrew the lawsuit, saying 鈥淚鈥檓 relieved to be off the No Fly List, but still reeling from the government鈥檚 abusive use of the list against me and its violations of my constitutional rights. I was placed on the list after I refused to become an FBI informant despite frightening and intimidating threats against me and my family. For over two years, I sought a fair process to clear my name, and the government failed to provide me with one. As a Muslim in this country, it can be easy to feel like a second-class citizen and be afraid to stand up for your rights because of the way our own government treats us. But now I feel vindicated and want my story to encourage others to stand up for their rights, because when we do, good things can happen.鈥�
