The ACLU.

edit: to be clear, I think the government itself could really do with reeling it back a bit as well - but this very news is a reminder that some people are watching out for the watched.

The ACLU was mostly mute on these issues during the prior administration, when these abuses became routine.

Just a couple of links to disprove this troll:

The first two are state cases, not federal, as are many of the others. I would have thought that "the administration" would clearly refer to Federal cases.

Latin for "Who will guard the guards themselves?".

Alternatively also translated as “Who watches the watchmen?”

And even without knowing Latin the sentence is recognizable :) At least to me, when I looked at it, it looked very similar to that. Guards, watchmen, custodians. Guarding, watching, being in custody of. And I know from other languages like French words like "qui" (though I don't speak French either, only know a select few words).

The judiciary branch.

That very same judiciary branch has a secret court that rubber stamps almost all mass surveillance requests given to them.
