New York Man Receives Federal Warning Over Email Criticizing ICE
David Streever, a Rochester, New York resident, received a federal warning over an email he sent in January criticizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a fatal shooting during an anti-ICE protest. Federal officers delivered the warning to his wife while Streever was abroad and later attempted to confront him at a hotel. His attorney argues the email constitutes protected political speech, while ICE states it investigates all credible threats against its personnel.
