Mexican-American news service falls victim of government surveillance and intrusion

LA VOZ DE AZTLAN NEWS BULLETIN

Los Angeles, Alta California

December 24, 2005

On December 23, 2005, four agents of the US Secret Service came to the headquarters of the news and information service La Voz de Aztlan that has a website at http://www.aztlan.net

The agents requested access to the news service's computer

and they copied the entire contents of the hard disk with

electronic equipment they brought with them. They spent

about 2 hours in the computer room.

While 2 agents where copying the entire computer's contents,

two others interrogated LA Voz de Aztlan news publisher.

Among many of the questions asked where the following:

1. What is the Aztlan movement?

2. Who are members of the organization?

3. How do you obtain the information published on the

website?

4. Do you owned any weapons?

There were in addition many questions of a personal nature

asked of the publisher. The government agents already had

information which indicated that surveillance and prior

investigations had taken place.

Of primary concern to the Department of Homeland Security

special agents was a report published at http://www.aztlan.net/juba_video.htm

The report has been removed and a notice substituted to explain its removal to La Voz de Aztlan readers.

The special agent in charge of the operation was in constant

communication, through a hand held device, with others outside the headquarters of La Voz de Aztlan. This operation by the government may be related to the recent revelation that the Bush Administration has been spying on American citizens without judicial permission.
