New York Resident Sues ICE After Agents Confront Him Over Critical Email to Director
David Streever, a New York resident, filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement after federal agents tracked him down to deliver a warning. The confrontation occurred after Streever sent an email to the agency's acting director criticizing a fatal officer-involved shooting and comparing the official to a Nazi. According to the legal filing, agents visited Streever at his home and even located him while he was on vacation with his daughter to issue a formal warning notice. The lawsuit alleges that the agency's actions were an attempt to intimidate a U.S. citizen for exercising his right to free speech. Streever argues that the response to his email violates the First Amendment by retaliating against him for peaceful political expression. ICE has not yet provided a public response to the specific allegations in the complaint regarding the delivery of the warning notice.
