Why "secret"?

It might also be legitimate surveillance orders, issued by a judge (hence DoJ), that allows for lawful communications interception, external surveillance, etc on a particular subject. The planes tracks look like they mostly circle some single spot or a driving car, or search for something.

I don't argue it's legitimate. I argue there's no evidence the other way.

No, you fail to argue that "legitimate" and "secret" are opposites.

I mean the "secret government program" might not be "secret", but a part of public legal system "program".

If we wait for smoking guns, we greatly empower people who decieve us.

Yep, but what do you propose in the case they're legitimate? To post publicly what investigation orders agents received? That defeats the whole purpose.

We could post publicly the orders in general terms, in ways that will not identify the targets. And as soon as possible, post the remainder of the order.

Transparency is essential to rule of, by, and for the people.

Okay, but are you referring to the criminals, or law enforcement? Both are involved in deception.
