FBI, No. 12-56867, 2019 WL 961953 (9th Cir. Feb. 28, 2019). As Plaintiffs have explained, the government’s ongoing retention and searching of their personal data and communications establishes their standing to pursue declaratory and injunctive relief. See Pls.’ Opp. to Gov’t Officials’ MTD 11- 17. The Ninth Circuit’s decision in Fazaga directly supports Plaintiffs’ standing. In Fazaga, the plaintiffs alleged that the FBI conducted an unlawful, covert surveillance program that gathered information about Muslims based on their religious identity. 2019 WL 961953, at *3. In addition to other relief, the plaintiffs sought the expungement of all information obtained or derived through the program and maintained by the government. Id. at *28-29. The government defendants argued that expungement was not available because the plaintiffs “advance[d] no plausible claim of an ongoing constitutional violation.” Id. at *29. Specifically, Case 2:17-cv-02132-RBS Document 50 Filed 03/14/19 Page 2 of 53 the defendants contended that “[e]ven if the government’s past conduct violated the Constitution, the continued maintenance of records .

This case concerns an FBI-paid agent provocateur who, by 3 misrepresenting his identity, infiltrated several mainstream mosques in Southern 4 California, based on the FBI’s instructions that he gather information on Muslims. 5 2. The FBI then used him to indiscriminately collect personal 6 information on hundreds and perhaps thousands of innocent Muslim Americans in 7 Southern California. Over the course of fourteen months, the agents supervising 8 this informant sent him into various Southern California mosques, and through his 9 surveillance gathered hundreds of phone numbers, thousands of email addresses, 10 hundreds of hours of video recordings that captured the interiors of mosques, 11 homes, businesses, and the associations of hundreds of Muslims, thousands of 12 hours of audio recording of conversations — both where he was and was not 13 present — as well as recordings of religious lectures, discussion groups, classes, 14 and other Muslim religious and cultural events occurring in mosques.

Crescent Avenue, ACLU FOUNDATION OF Suite F SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Anaheim, CA 92801 1313 West Eighth Street Los Angeles, CA 90017 QUESTION PRESENTED This case challenges a domestic FBI surveillance program that, according to the FBI’s own informant, targeted individuals for electronic surveillance because of their religion. The Government asserted the state secrets privilege and sought dismissal of Respondents’ free exercise and religious discrimination claims on that basis. The court of appeals held that, with respect to electronic surveillance collected as part of the investigation, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act provides for ex parte and in camera review of the lawfulness of the surveillance, and that procedure displaces, at least at the threshold, the rule permitting dismissal of a claim based on state secrets. The question presented is: Whether the state secrets evidentiary privilege recognized in Reynolds v. United States authorizes the dismissal of claims challenging the lawfulness of electronic surveillance, particularly where Section 1806(f) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 50 U.S.C.
