"This is the first time that we have seen a court strike down a form of privacy policy that has been applied to law enforcement in more than 50 years," said Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kockela.

But HSI has not been shy about saying that it will not let law enforcement off the hook in its use of GPS tracking technology.

In the past month, the department has taken an aggressive approach to enforcing its policy, including introducing new laws that require a warrant if officers have probable cause to believe someone is in the United States illegally.

"What we need is a law that stops people from leaving the United States without any warrant," said David R. Lohman, the chief of National Security Investigations at the Department of Homeland Security. "We want to protect that right, and we want to see those laws being enforced."

But some of the most vocal advocates for privacy rights in the United States are beginning to worry about what would happen if the DOJ decided to go all in on the issue.
