This was obtained because the @bostonglobe.com intervened and asked the court to unseal the records. Their reporting is here, and notes that her detention was spurred by the Canary Project and a tweet.

You can see how the @nytimes.com "computed the results" by looking at the cross-tabs. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Cross-Tabs: January 2026 Times/Siena National Poll of Registered Voters
Results of a nationwide New York Times/Siena poll of 1,625 registered voters conducted from Jan. 12 to 17, 2026.

This would not be his first lawsuit over a poll. It's not even his second. He sued J. Ann Selzer twice. The second time, he sued the day before Iowa's anti-SLAPP statute took effect. FIRE is defending her against that suit and against a separate class action suit by the "Center for American Rights"

And the kicker? As of last month, the city is still insisting the subpoena is active and proper.

So, to recap:

Guy jokes online that police should search the mayor's basement for a missing teen, referencing the mayor's sketchy past.

Mayor *subpoenas* the guy, demanding he come down to city hall to explain his joke (because "Cyber Bullying").

Police search mayor's house, arrest him.
