(1) The United States Postal Service has been 
operating a clandestine domestic surveillance pro-
gram of Americans’ social media activity known as 
the Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP). 
(2) iCOP is part of the United States Postal 
Inspection Service which is the law enforcement and

tion is narrowly defined within postal mail only.

it encroaches upon the private lives of Americans 
and seeks to curb constitutional rights of the First 
Amendment. 
(5) iCOP is not only illegal for operating out-
side of its stated jurisdiction, but also politically mo-
tivated in its target.
