    The WSJ describes a US citizen's constitutional right to due process as a 'hurdle' that could 'hobble' intelligence operations. Read that again and notice whose side the sentence is written from.

      Can you provide the direct quote? I don't subscribe to the WSJ so can't see what you might be alluding to.

        "U.S. intelligence agencies may now face legal hurdles in directly targeting and collecting personal data on Valencia González because of his place of birth. That risks hindering a significant tactical partnership that has developed between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Washington that is making increasing use of information provided by U.S. military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies."
