ICE was investigating him over an email. Now, he's suing
Streever says agents tracked him down after a critical email and issued a warning notice, prompting his lawsuit against DHS and ICE.
- David Streever filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after agents issued a warning notice regarding a critical email he sent five months earlier.
- While traveling with his 7-year-old daughter, Streever received voicemails and a business card from federal immigration agents who tracked him to a New York hotel following his email criticizing a former ICE official.
- Streever's email, written five months earlier, compared the official to historical figures and warned of a 'downfall,' prompting agents to visit his New York home to deliver the warning notice.
- The lawsuit alleges the Department of Homeland Security's agents used personal information to locate Streever while traveling, effectively using the warning notice to intimidate a private citizen over political speech.
- This case questions the extent of federal surveillance powers when immigration authorities confront citizens over online criticism, setting a potential precedent for how the Department of Homeland Security handles political speech.
