A federal judge rejected a lawsuit against the FBI that alleges the agency unlawfully spied on Orange County Muslims in California, the Los Angeles Times reports.
U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney wrote that “the state secrets privilege may unfortunately mean the sacrifice of individual liberties for the sake of national security.”
Carney said the intelligence in the case would compromise national security, if revealed, the LA Times reported.
Still, the judge said the suit can proceed against the individual FBI agents.
Orange County Muslims brought the lawsuit after they said they were targeted for illegally spying.
