Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers on Sept. 23 sued security camera company Lorex, alleging ties to the Chinese communist regime and deceptive practices.

Lorex was previously owned by Dahua, a blacklisted Chinese tech company that the U.S. government determined was aiding the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) suppression and mass surveillance of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
