This is especially relevant in the wake of the discovery that the DEA was/is using NSA data in it’s war on drugs… which includes Americans on the ‘other side’.
Unfortunately the DEA seems to have a legitimate legal rationale to do so because a few years ago, with congressional authorization and with media coverage at the time, drug gangs such as MS-13 were declared international terrorist organizations.
No one seems to notice the impingement on THEIR liberties when others (the war on drugs is a more correctly a ‘war on drug USERS’… victims) are persecuted.

At least we have the right to be silent!
Did he mention, “water”?
