The program also keeps tabs on planned protests, according to a government bulletin.
Last week, Gohmert appeared on the far-right One America News Network (OAN) to condemn iCOP. There’s been enough government “spying” on American citizens through the National Security Agency, he said, referring to the NSA’s previous unconstitutionalsurveillance efforts.
“The only thing that Orwell got wrong was the year,” Gohmert told OAN host Kara McKinney. “It wasn’t 1984 it’s now.”
The U.S. Postal Service apparently has deeper, darker secrets than the NSA. We don’t need any more government spying on our citizens. https://t.co/8qkxgoKSPo Louie Gohmert (@replouiegohmert) May 7, 2021

On the floor of Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where Sir Charles Barkley once dunked basketballs and Hulk Hogan wrestled King Kong Bundy, 46 tables are arrayed in neat rows, each with a Lazy Susan in the middle.
Seated at the tables are several dozen people, mostly Republicans, who spend hours watching ballots spin by, photographing them or inspecting them closely. They are counting them and checking to see if there is any sign they were flown in surreptitiously from South Korea. A few weeks ago they were holding them up to ultraviolet lights, looking for a watermark rumored to be a sign of fraud.
In video footage taken at the May 2 protest, a tall white man is seen angrily confronting protesters, who were crossing a busy Plano intersection. Scott supporters demanded the man’s arrest and the firing of a police officer they felt did little to intervene. But some conservatives insist that the protesters were in the wrong for obstructing traffic.
Many have accused right-wing commentators of fomenting misplaced outrage. Rather than being upset by Scott’s horrific death, which his family described as “torturous,” some conservatives seemed more rattled by potential traffic violations.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Monday tweeted the protest was an example of mob rule. In a statement, he claimed a militant group of Black Lives Matter protesters were real the aggressors, and an Antifa-like character pulled out what appears to be a gun.
