Summary
As LA and Orange County prepare to mark 25 years since 9/11 with solemn remembrance events, a sweeping federal lawsuit is unfolding that could reshape civil liberties. Citizens allege DHS, DOJ, and the FBI have systematically intimidated and retaliated against those peacefully documenting immigration enforcement — from pepper-spraying to revoking Global Entry status — under a chilling national policy that labels observers as domestic terrorists. Michael Khalili, one plaintiff, shares his fear for his family’s safety after being confronted by agents, yet vows to keep fighting for accountability. Common Cause calls it an assault on American democracy, warning that this case may redefine how citizens can hold power to account — with stakes that reach far beyond the courtroom.
