PRISONS & POLICING
A new investigation reveals that federal and local law enforcement
agencies have been surveilling journalists and activists involved in
the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd for over a year
under a secretive program known as Operation Safety Net (OSN), despite
claiming to have shut the operation down last April.
Officials announced OSN in February 2021, a month before the trial for
former Minneapolis police officer and murderer Derek Chauvin
began. Law enforcement officials claimed that the goal of the program
was to ensure that the public was able to exercise its right to free
speech while making sure that things like business buildings
weren't harmed in the process.
