WASHINGTON, USA - MAY 29: A person holds a banner reading "Justice for George Floyd", as crowds gather to protest after the death of George Floyd in Washington D.C. United States on May 29, 2020. Floyd, 46, a black man, was arrested Monday after reportedly attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a local store. Video footage on Facebook showed him handcuffed and cooperating. But police claimed he resisted arrest. A white officer kneeled on his neck, despite Floydâs repeated pleas of "I can't breathe." Former police officer Derek Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, according to Hennepin County Prosecutor Michael Freeman. Minneapolis, Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey said Friday he imposed a mandatory curfew because of ongoing protests regarding the death of George Floyd.

是次参与了联署信的 35 名民主党国会议员在该公开信中指出，近期多个联邦机构对美国正爆发的抗议活动展开密切的监视，当中 FBI 以及国民警卫军就通过配备了红外线以及光学摄像功能的飞机监视民众的合法抗议活动，而海关及边境保卫局就出动了 「MQ-1 掠夺者」无人机以收集示威活动的实时视频，斥有关行为已违反了美国宪法当中所赋予的合法抗议权，要求当局立即停止有关行为。
信中更提及多个美国联邦机构甚至在示威活动当中动用了包括面部识别、车牌识别以及 Stingrays 等技术协助执法，当中后者更可以收集示威者手机所发出及收集的短信、浏览纪录及位置等多项数据。参与联署的国会议员就在信中表示，他们与目前数以百万计的美国人民站在同一阵线，和平地呼吁政府进行改革以解决种族主义以及社会上存在的不公正现象。
