EFF, unions sue Trump administration over alleged mass social media surveillance of legal residents

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and several labor unions have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging the government is engaging in mass surveillance of legal residents' social media activities. The lawsuit claims that the administration is monitoring and punishing non-citizens who express views on social media that the government disapproves of. The plaintiffs argue that this practice violates the First and Fifth Amendments, as it chills the free speech rights of legal residents and deprives them of due process. The lawsuit seeks to halt the alleged surveillance and compel the government to disclose its policies and practices regarding the monitoring of social media activities. The case highlights the tension between national security concerns and civil liberties, as the Trump administration faces allegations of overstepping its authority in the name of immigration enforcement. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the online freedoms of non-citizens in the United States.
