ADC files suit to stop illegal spying

[struggle4progress]

Washington - This week the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) joined a number of civil rights organizations in submitting an amicus brief (friend of the court brief) in the case of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) v. National Security Agency (NSA.)

The case relates to the NSA's illegal domestic spying and wiretapping program(s), under which the agency is able to intercept international telephone and Internet communications, without a court order. ACLU is suing the NSA for violating the U.S. Constitution.

ADC is joined by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), United for Peace and Justice, and the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), in the amicus brief.
