Statement from the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, on Government Watch Lists

“The ACLU of Connecticut has severe reservations about the reliability and constitutionality of government watch lists like the no-fly list. While we acknowledge that the governor’s intentions are admirable, the government’s watch list system is notorious for including innocent people, and the ACLU was in court this week fighting to fix the inadequate process for people wrongly blacklisted on the no-fly list to clear their names.”
