ACLU statement to Gizmodo: “No government agency should be facilitating the over-policing of the Black community, period,” ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel Neema Singh Guliani wrote to Gizmodo in a statement. “And CBP has no role in what’s happening in Minneapolis at all. ->
"This rogue agency’s use of military technology to surveil protesters inside US borders is deeply disturbing, especially given CBPs lack of clear and strong policies to protect privacy and constitutional rights. This agency’s use of drones over the city should be halted immdtly."
Aircraft is now holding in similar hexagonal flight pattern near Grand Forks Air Force Base. The aircraft took off at around 14:17 Z, now airborne for around 7 hours. Predator can stay airborne for ~27 hours.
