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.

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.
