Once again, a reminder that the "free speech" crusaders were always cynics operating in bad faith
New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

As part of its established procedures, ICE sends agents to pound on the doors of protesters at home and tell them "We know who you are and we're coming for you." The tactics of incompetent state terrorism.

Day by day, the American Gestapo rises and our freedoms are threatened.

"DHS asked the companies for identifying details of accounts that do not have a real person’s name attached and that have criticized ICE or pointed to the locations of ICE agents.'

"This will not stand. It is an abomination. It is anti-American, undemocratic, and fascistic. What are the tech companies thinking? What happened to their courage? Have they no decency?"

One of the core purposes of the U.S. Privacy Act was to prevent unexamined sharing of personal data across agencies. This is exactly the kind of case that law was meant to make difficult, if not prevent altogether.
NEW: Workers at the Social Security Administration have been told to share information about in-person appointments with ICE agents, WIRED has learned, in a move that goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

Protesters in Minnesota faced intimidation from ICE agents, who targeted individuals at their homes. This blatant harassment reveals a systemic attempt to silence dissent and maintain control through fear.

John Nichols @nicholsuprising.bsky.social offers a serious assessment of the damage done by ICE and what me must do next -- abolish ICE and impeach Noem.
Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:

“We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”

Now it’s time to abolish the agency and impeach Kristi Noem.
