Feds’ Surveillance Scandal: “Cash me if you can”

All Episodes

May 16, 2025 • 26 mins

A new financial surveillance dragnet is sweeping up ordinary cash transactions at small businesses near the US-Mexico border. The federal government has placed onerous new requirements on businesses that help people without bank accounts cash checks or send money to family members. It’s demanding reports on all transactions involving at least $200 in cash, subjecting innocent people to warrantless surveillance and burying small businesses in paperwork. Today we chat with IJ attorneys Rob Johnson and Betsy Sanz to talk about how IJ is fighting back against financial surveillance and the government’s war on cash. https://youtu.be/MGPC27FIrqE Become a Monthly Donor Are you looking for a rewarding and consistent way to support IJ’s work?
