Lawgeeks, here's one to watch that was filed on Friday. A lawsuit challenging DHS' use of facial recognition tech to collect info about ICE protesters and then retaliate against them by cancelling their TSA Precheck and Global Entry. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
7. Instead of adhering to these requirements, DHS secretly adopted its Protester Surveillance Policy and never publicly explained how and why it has decided it can collect such information—including under what authority it is being collected, how it is being stored, for how long, what DHS is using the information for, and why the information is necessary to accomplish a required agency purpose (or what that purpose even could be). 8. Because DHS’s secret policy of collecting, maintaining, and using personally identifying information of protestors and observers violates the Privacy Act and is arbitrary and capricious, and because under its policy DHS has retaliated against Individual Plaintiffs in violation of the First Amendment, this Court should declare DHS’s Protester Surveillance Policy illegal, vacate it, and enjoin DHS from acting in accordance with it.
