Over the past year and a half, Trump administration officials have gone after protestors—and even apps—critical of the government's immigration policies. Now, federal agents are targeting individuals for constitutionally protected speech on social media.
Last week, Syracuse resident Paigelynne Gonyea was approached by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at her workplace and given a warning to remove a social media post on an Instagram account the agents believed was hers. In a letter given to Gonyea, the ICE agents say the post may have broken federal law, as reported by Syracuse.com.
