Justice Department: Electronic Frontier Foundation

Electronic Frontier Foundation: The lawsuit was filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which represents the unusually broad coalition of plaintiffs, and seeks an injunction against the NSA, Justice Department, FBI and directors of the agencies, according to 660 News. The lawsuit comes after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked details about NSA surveillance programs earlier this year, revealing a broad U.S. intelligence program to monitor Internet and telephone activity in search of terror plots and U.S. rights activists, church leaders and drug and gun rights advocates found common ground and filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the federal government to halt a vast National Security Agency electronic surveillance program. It challenges what the plaintiffs describe as an illegal and unconstitutional program of dragnet electronic surveillance. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
