DHS Collecting Big Tech Users' Personal Data, Issuing Subpoenas For ICE-Related Criticism


One is a case from this month involving a Philadelphia-area man who challenged a Trump administration subpoena issued to Google seeking information about his identity and home address after he sent an email to DHS criticizing their treatment of a man seeking asylum from Afghanistan.

The individual, according to the ACLU, had read the story in the Washington Post and wrote his email to DHS urging the agency to “apply principles of common sense and decency” in its treatment of the asylum seeker. About two weeks after the man was notified about the subpoena, two DHS agents and a local police officer showed up and interrogated him at his residence.

"In a democracy, contacting your government about things you feel strongly about is a fundamental right," the man, identified only as Jon Doe, said on Feb. 3.

Between Feb. 3 and Feb. 10, the man was able to quash the subpoena after challenging it in court on the basis of First Amendment violations. The DHS was forced to withdraw.
“This is a resounding win for our First Amendment rights," Stephen A. Loney, ACLU-PA senior supervising attorney, said after the subpoena was quashed. "Administrative subpoenas like this one are abusive tactics intended to chill speech and punish us for disagreeing with the government.

2. There are multitudes more of us than them

I’m not sure they’ve really thought this through, but history shows things don’t turn out well for the tyrants. So good luck with that, magats.

7. They think WE are like the people in The Files who are easily blackmailed into submission

And you are right, there are way too many of us for them to bully into submission. Hells bells we already have Sec DHS so scared she kicked the Coast Guard Commandant out of house so she could hide her ass in there to protect herself from the people who never actually threatened her.

Ditto Stephen Miller and his wife who had to run to hide in on base military housing because someone wrote unflattering things in chalk on the sidewalk in front of their home.

These chicken hawks talk tough and sent bullies out to hurt people, but they have no idea how many people are NOT afraid of speaking truth to power. They are terrified of US, and all we have to do is hold our ground and not be bullied by yellow bellied cowards.

3. They only have one job: to protect our borders from illegal immigrants

All the rest of this is bullshit ... and it's completely out of bounds for ICE and DHS.

Stop detaining Americans, stop arresting people without warrants. Get down to the southern border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Do your job ... your ONLY job.
