Border agents nabbed their phones. These two Floridians are fighting back. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jalal "Jay" Shehadeh had no reason to believe he was under suspicion from the government. A former assistant state attorney in Florida, he traveled frequently without problems and was preapproved for fast-track border access under the Global Entry program. And he had no problem getting through Israel's notoriously strict airport security while visiting family in the Palestinian territories. But on the way home, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held Shehadeh for four hours at Newark Liber
Homeland Security admits to watchlisting Americans based on ‘potential inaccuracies’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acknowledged in court filings on Monday that "potential inaccuracies were identified" in the database it is using to look for illegal foreign voters—and that its investigation process carries the risk that "in rare circumstances U.S. citizens might be incorrectly identified as aliens."

(I later learned that, like many other New Yorkers, my aunt barely missed becoming one of the victims by being late to work.) And I heard that a stranger from a strange land named "Osama bin Laden" was responsible. A little under a decade later, the U.S. gov

Read excerpt
President Donald Trump has made a lot of hay about the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unfairly persecuting Americans. But his administration is quietly setting up far more intrusive financial surveillance of citizens. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set up a secretive unit that refers Americans to local police based on "suspicious" financial transactions, recent court documents reveal. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department is fighting to maintain a program that would require money tra
