Why can't Snowden come home?

In 2020, a federal court ruled that the government spy program @Snowden revealed was illegal. If our government behaved illegally and we know about it thanks to a single whistleblower, why is Snowden still exiled in Russia, on the run from US authorities?" https://t.co/8z39ZWroLL

"We just got more proof that the U.S. government is collecting our data.

'The CIA has a secret, undisclosed data repository that includes information collected about Americans, two Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee said,’ the Washington Post reported Friday.  ‘While neither the agency nor lawmakers would disclose specifics about the data, the senators alleged the CIA had long hidden details about the program from the public and Congress…’

In the nine years since Snowden’s revelations, we have learned time and again that the U.S. government, via the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. have continued such practices.

In 2020, a federal court ruled that the government spy program Snowden revealed was illegal.
