Another New York Resident Says He Was Warned by Officers After Criticizing ICE

Federal agents visited the Rochester home of David Streever last week to serve a warning regarding an email he sent six months ago criticizing ICE Director Todd Lyons after the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
Streever sent the email to Lyons in January, calling his protection of the officer involved in the Minnesota shooting a "monstrous" act; agents later attempted to locate him at his New York City hotel.
Attorney Adam Steinbaugh argued the email constituted protected political speech, while Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Lauren Bis stated ICE investigates all credible threats toward its employees and officers.
Syracuse poll worker Paigelynne Gonyea also received a visit from federal agents last week regarding a social media post identifying Jonathan Ross, the officer who shot Good, according to the New York Attorney General's Office.
