Unions Sue to Stop AI Surveillance Powering Trump’s Deportation Scheme

Three major labor unions have sued the federal government to stop a social media surveillance program designed to revoke visas and green cards of immigrants with "hostile attitudes" towards the government.

The program has allegedly suppressed the free speech of union members, including graduate students targeted for expressing pro-Palestine views.

The First Amendment applies to everyone who lives in the U.S.

This lawsuit, filed by three civil liberties groups, is the first to challenge the surveillance program itself, according to Lisa Femia, a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
