    DHS is using subpoenas to try to identify people who criticize ICE or track their locations. “In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta ... have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas” They have complied with some of them. Gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/...

    LOL there is not enough time in the day to track all of the anti-ICE accounts in the U.S. and around the world.  Kristi Noem should just assume that everyone is an anti-ICE account.  There, saved you some time, honey.  —  www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

    Homeland Security's demand for social media giants like Google and Meta to expose identities behind anti-ICE posts strikes at the heart of free expression.  This authoritarian move threatens dissent, stifling voices challenging oppressive systems.

    Why does DHS want the personal information of online users who “comment” about ICE?  What do they want to do to them?  Seems a bit fascist, doesn't it?
