Man sues DHS after agents tracked him down over critical email to ICE
The second person that ICE "warned" about their protected speech has filed a First Amendment lawsuit. The complaint, linked in this story, does a nice job making ICE look both menacing and incompetent www.npr.org/2026/07/06/n...
I particularly enjoyed the heading "DHS issues a public statement five months later stating it is still conducting an “ongoing investigation” into Streever’s three-paragraph email"
Streever's email to Lyons is a classic, but its assumption that Lyons has a conscience raises questions about Streever's grip on reality storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Everyone should have seen this coming. When someone comes to attack free speech, they should expect to be sued, simple as that. Hat's off to the person who filed it and their attorney.
Frankly, ICE's actions prompt me to send a LOT of emails.
The level of effort against this poor man is staggering; especially when I remember why DHS was created in the first place. Federal agencies didn’t lack the resources, they simply didn’t share intelligence and allegedly obstructed each other. DHS was supposed to end all that, not harass people.
I once sent a scathing email to the pastor of Paul Ryan’s church demanding that he be excluded from the Eucharist. Simpler times
