The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against the city of Medford, Oregon, alleging that its police department illegally spied on progressive activists. The lawsuit claims that for years, Medford police monitored activists as they organized events such as pro-choice rallies, protests against police brutality, and Juneteenth celebrations. This legal action by the ACLU aims to address concerns over the violation of civil liberties and the potential breach of state and federal laws by the police department.
