Original: Feds got warrants to use fake cell towers to hunt down Don Lemon's producer

The disclosure raises fresh concerns about surveillance tools being deployed against members of the press and their teams, and debate is focused on judicial oversight of such tracking.
Why now: New reporting that government surveillance tools were used against someone connected to a prominent journalist has sparked concern about press freedom.
