Civil liberties groups on Thursday asked federal courts to halt the Bush administration's controversial program of domestic eavesdropping, saying it violated the privacy and free speech rights of U.S. citizens.
The requests for court-ordered injunctions filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in Detroit and by the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York were an extension of legal challenges the two groups had filed in January.
Both civil rights groups said their most actions were prompted by indications that Republican senators were working with the White House to draft a law that would allowing eavesdropping on some communications to and from the United States without a warrant.
