Back in the U.S., in Oregon, the ACLU is suing the city of Medford, saying its police has been illegally spying on progressive political activists and groups for several years. The lawsuit accuses the Medford Police Department of monitoring the social media accounts of activists and groups involved in “racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive justice, housing justice, harm reduction, and decriminalization,” and collecting information on them. The groups and activists in question were not suspected of involvement in any criminal activity.
