The FBI accessed a private Signal group used by nonviolent immigrants' rights activists in New York to coordinate courtwatching at federal immigration hearings, labeling them as 'anarchist violent extremists' in an August 2025 report shared nationwide. These volunteers observe public proceedings to record potential due process issues, like ICE arrests inside courthouses, which surged after a January 2025 directive lifted prior restrictions. Civil liberties groups, including the NYCLU, condemned the surveillance as a dangerous overreach reminiscent of McCarthy-era tactics, arguing it chills protected activism and erodes trust in encrypted tools. Despite the intimidation, advocates like NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who was arrested while courtwatching, pledge to keep showing up for transparency and the rule of law.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine volunteering to watch over immigration hearings, just to document fairness, only to find the FBI lurking in your private chat. That's the unsettling reality for New York courtwatchers, whose efforts to hold ICE accountable have drawn intense scrutiny.
