A Rochester, New York, man has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arguing that federal agents tried to intimidate him into silence after he sent a furious email months earlier to the agency's then-acting director.
David Streever, a U.S. citizen, was traveling in Finland in late June when agents from Homeland Security Investigations came to his home and later a hotel seeking to deliver a warning notice, according to the complaint. His wife was the one who received the notice, which told Streever that the email he had sent months earlier was being treated as a threat.
