WASHINGTON, D.C. — Silicon Valley’s congressional delegation wants answers about whether the federal government unlawfully surveyed residents during the recent nationwide protests calling for police reform.

Rep. Anna Eshoo of Palo Alto and Rep. Bobby Rush of Illinois penned a letter last month — sent to the National Guard Bureau, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigations and the United States Customs and Border Protection — sharing their concerns about the alleged government surveillance being reported by some media outlets. The representatives received unhelpful responses from the FBI and the CBP, according to a news release from Eshoo’s office.

Eshoo and Rush are now demanding answers in separate follow-up letters to these two agencies. The letters, which were shared in the release, were signed by 21 other Democratic members of Congress, including Rep. Ro Khanna of Fremont and Rep. Zoe Lofgren of San Jose.

Among other questions, the letter to the FBI asks for a detailed list of every aircraft the agency has flown over or near protests in the U.S. since May 25, and whether these aircraft were equipped with any surveillance equipment, such as rangefinders, thermal imaging devices, facial recognition technology, video surveillance systems, radio frequency sensors or other telecommunications interception equipment.

The representatives additionally inquired about the accuracy of two media reports from last month: An article from The New York Times stating that the Justice Department directed the CBP to provide surveillance of the demonstrations in Detroit, and an article from Vice Motherboard stating that a CBP-108 was recently flown above San Antonio.
