Democracy Now!ACLU Sues FBI, Colorado Springs Police for Surveillance of Activists During 2020 UprisingThe American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado has sued the FBI, the Colorado Springs Police Department and local officers for illegally searching the private Facebook messages of a local activist and the Chinook Center, a community organizing hub in Colorado Springs. The police also accessed the activist’s cellphone, laptop and external hard drives. This comes after revelations the FBI had infiltrated the Chinook Center by sending an undercover Colorado Springs detective to volunteer at the center in 2020. This was part of a broader FBI effort to infiltrate racial justice groups in Colorado after the police killing of George Floyd.
