- ICE agents visited David Streever's home and served a warning notice over an email he sent criticizing the agency.
- Streever, a U.S. citizen, filed a lawsuit alleging his First Amendment rights were violated by ICE's actions.
- The email, sent to former ICE acting director Todd Lyons, contained strong language but was deemed political speech.
- A second individual, Paigelynne Gonyea, also received a federal warning for social media posts related to an ICE officer.
- Homeland Security stated that doxxing or threatening law enforcement officers would lead to investigation and consequences.
- The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression is representing Streever, arguing the case involves protected free expression.
