Federal judge rules FBI terrorism watchlist violates constitutional rights.

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that a government database of more than one million people identified as “known or suspected terrorists,” violates the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens who were added to the list by denying them due process.

Many on the list, which is maintained by the FBI and shared with a variety of federal agencies, said they were subjected to frequent and sometimes invasive screenings while traveling which have led to “adverse experiences and consequences,” including being handcuffed at border crossings. "The general right of free movement is a long-recognized, fundamental liberty," he wrote."Inclusion in the TSDB accordingly imposes a substantial burden on Plaintiff's exercise of their rights to international travel and domestic air travel" which he adds is a"deprivation of liberty interests."“There is no evidence, or contention, that any of these plaintiffs satisfy the definition of a ’known terrorist,” Trenga wrote.

The database was put together in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and in many cases added American citizens with little oversight and secretive criteria.

Good. Because it does

Hey NBC news thanks for the information!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

U not even agreed between yourselves who to declare terrorist or not...lol US troops and operations in Middle East are terrorists and illegal. US u're miserable...US GO HOME!

interpol?

This is what will happen more often when the democrats and run the country.

No. That’s just wrong.

If only terrorists were bound by the Constitution 🤔

Is the judge not driving but traveling?

So is this the end of the '10 Most Wanted' list?

IT MIGHT VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS BUT YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST

It does, of course, violate their right to due process. It also is unlikely the judge's ruling will stop an FBI under the supervision of William Barr from doing whatever the hell they want anyway.

No surprises there

Unbelievable

Well i hope that judge will sleep well when the next 9/11 attacks could have been prevented but his ruling made that impossible and his hands are running red with blood.

Let me guess...9th circuit or DC circuit

Must we strap people down and duct tape their eyes open while playing video of those towers crashing to the ground? Good grief, there're people who still want to kill us all.

when isnt the FBI violating the constitution

So it turns out you have to be more than just brown to be considered a terrorist. 🙄

Terrorism violates my constitutional rights!

You’re kidding right? Cuz the American public doesn’t have the right to know who’s a possible terrorist?

Someone needs to inform Comey abt this. Just a couple of days ago he was praising t fbi for being an institution of '...people focused on finding truth & doing justice...' Truth & justice my ass....

Really?!

Did the NRA make that list?

Let’s not violate the rights of terrorist. 😜

Um, someone didn’t go to law school if this is the judges result.

Odd that this ruling is coming at the same time that the FBI is wrestling with the difficult task of adding large numbers of White supremasts vowing to start a revolution to the terorist watchlist. Maybe not really that odd, and they're already here, unlike the picture. Thoughts?

lexsion A Republican didnt like that the NRA got put on that list in one state. xD

Tabloid media

That's ridiculous! WTF about a 'No fly list'? What about the FBI Most Wanted List? I think that another judge needs to reconsider this ruling on the Terrorist Watch list!

Two side to the coin on this one. I'd still rather have a data base of suspected terorists. Hope this is to be challenged.

Nothing wrong with throwing Mexican children into cages though and holding them indefinitely

This judge must be a terry in disguise.

We don't want to infringe on the terrorist constitutional rights now.

The entire patriot act is unconstitutional 🙄

WTF? That’s bullshit!!!

WTF?!

The entire f**king Orwellian Police State is unconstitutional. The Framers of this country would disembowel most of Congress and CIA, NSA.

Duh!

YangMediaBlackout

Not for long. SCOTUS will take care of this! Thank you!!

And yet, some on the left are pushing for red flag or other no due process gun grabbing laws...

Every single MAGA belongs on a watch list! And that included the CorruptGOP NRAIsATerroristOrganization GOPIsATerroristOrganization TrumpIsAWhiteSupremacist

Unless TraitorTrump & MoscowMitch are on it, Then it needs to stay and be acted on immediately

Those murdered in mass shootings also had constitutional rights to life, didn't do them any good did it ! At least the FBI was and still is in favor of protecting the public unlike Donald J. Trump and his crime family.

4th, 5th & 6th Amendments for sure.

This is why this country is the way it is!

CIMAGES bullllllll shit

Did this judge also know that we have rights as citizens to be safe from terrorists? His liberal standards put an entire nation at risk. This guy has got to go!

So the judge would be fine with a known, watched terrorist kidnapping and murdering his daughter, because it violated his constitutional rights!
