NPRResponse To Capitol Riot Could Hurt Minorities, Civil Libertarians Say Enlarge this image toggle caption Andrew Harnik/AP Andrew Harnik/AP Civil liberties advocates are warning that the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol could lead to new police and surveillance powers. Incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat who previously supported such a move, has now proposed expanding the federal no-fly list to add Capitol rioters. The head of the FBI's Washington Field Office, Steven D'Antuono, would not rule that out at a separate news conference in Washington, D.C. "As for the no-fly list, we look at all tools and all techniques that we can possibly use, within the FBI, and that's something we are actively looking at," he said. "It would be a shame if the response to poor policing was to give the police more authority that would infringe on civil liberties," Nojeim said.
