I agree it’s state surveillance and would say systemic harassment and intimidation but I don’t see the oppression angle.

When the stated goal is to make people move out of the county, how much more do you need to label it oppression?

That wasn’t the stated goal. That was how a deputy characterized it. A civil rights lawyer on the other hand characterized it as harassment.
