ICE agents are under scrutiny for recording observers and their license plates, leading to concerns about privacy and First Amendment rights.
A judge ruled that ICE agents cannot retaliate against peaceful protesters, but no ruling has addressed the privacy concerns. Observers like Ryan Ecklund and Noah Levy are reconsidering their involvement, while Judy Levy remains committed within her comfort level.
ACLU attorney John Boehler highlighted concerns about warrantless data collection by ICE agents. Minnesota law restricts the use of such data mostly for us in active criminal investigations, not for identifying peaceful observers.
