SAA Leaders:

SAA has signed on to a letter, written by the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cdt.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=2VZYbtYJv2D8M43KsrFplYR_K_qvRt8ALW9zIemmNsU&r=96N2Xln1tQ5ybaNCzz0QYaogkbhQB0zpLS4WDkRpin8&m=G_R_MFDmACYSL0b1wHtl0cukq7XU_etBTb-UvkqcUKo&s=k_vVzx9Lx7Glifk0sYGZ5jPtU57aCGjBKSLN9tnnEMo&e=>, to Acting Privacy Chief Officer Jonathan Cantor expressing “concerns with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) System of Records Notice…stating that DHS will now store social media information in ‘Alien Files’ (A-Files), which include the official record of an individual’s visa and immigration history.” This "raises concerns that the collection, retention, use, and sharing of social media information will (1) invade the privacy of immigrants and U.S. citizens alike; (2) chill freedom of speech and association; (3) invite abuse in exchange for little security benefit; and (4) establish a system that treats naturalized citizens as second-class citizens."
