ACLU Lawsuit Challenges NSA Surveillance

HeadlineNov 25, 2013

A federal court heard arguments Friday in a case challenging the National Security Agency’s mass collection of U.S. phone call data. The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit earlier this year after leaks from Edward Snowden showed Verizon Business was ordered to hand over the call records of all of its customers. The ACLU says the NSA program goes far beyond what Congress has authorized under the USA PATRIOT Act.
