EFF and Government Face Off Over ‘State Secrets’ in San Francisco Courtroom

Friday Hearing Over Motions to Dismiss AT&T Surveillance Case

San Francisco - On Friday, June 23, at 9:30 a.m., a federal judge in San Francisco will hear oral arguments on the U.S. government’s motion to dismiss the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s (EFF’s) class-action lawsuit against AT&T.

EFF’s suit accuses the telecom giant of collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) in illegal spying on millions of ordinary Americans. The government contends that even if the NSA program is illegal, the lawsuit should not go forward because it might expose state secrets.

The judge will also consider AT&T’s motions to dismiss the case in Friday’s hearing. Additionally, he will hear requests from media organizations to intervene and unseal critical evidence filed in the lawsuit.
