Three women who had their Global Entry revoked are suing the Department of Homeland Security, alleging the agency violated privacy laws and their First Amendment rights by unlawfully tracking and retaliating against individuals who opposed the Trump administration's immigration policies. The plaintiffs, legal observers documenting immigration enforcement, lost their Trusted Traveler status after confrontations with federal agents. They claim DHS used facial recognition, license plate readers, body cameras, and other surveillance methods to suppress their legal observation of agents' actions. The lawsuit, joined by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, argues DHS abused its surveillance powers through an automated targeting system to silence critics of the deportation campaign. Plaintiffs detailed incidents where agents confronted them after observing operations, leading to the revocation of their Global Entry privileges. The Trump administration denied that lawful protest could result in losing Global Entry, stating revocations are based on criminal activity or immigration law violations. The case is represented by Democracy Forward, which has previously filed lawsuits against the Trump administration for power abuses. The complaint highlights the expansion of federal surveillance to stifle dissent, emphasizing the right of citizens to freely observe and document government actions without fear of retaliation.
