• EFF and three labor unions are suing the Trump administration over alleged surveillance of visa holders and green-card holders’ social-media activity, including use of AI/automated tools.
  • The lawsuit argues that monitoring and punishing people based on their political views violates the First Amendment and federal administrative law.
  • Major development: a federal judge rejected the government’s attempt to dismiss the case, ruling that the court can hear it and that the unions have legal standing to sue.
  • Next step: the lawsuit proceeds to discovery, where EFF expects to obtain more information about how the government’s surveillance program operates.
