What We Learned About the Hemisphere Program After Suing the DEA

Am I missing something or is the program still on going? It seems like the article is about them getting access to information, not getting the program shut down. Don't get me wrong, I think exposing it is a good first step but getting it stopped where they can't just search for whatever they want without a warrant would be the end goal here.

You're correct, this is about a freedom of information lawsuit about the program. They now seem to be finding potential victims so they can challenge the actual program.

Why wouldn't it? It was ALWAYS a legal program run by the Executive Branch sanctioned by Congress with oversight by the Courts and Congressional committees.
