Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus has been accused of targeting ordinary US citizens who criticise his immigration policies, with federal agents confronting a New York father in his home state and then tracking him to a Manhattan hotel in March after he sent a furious email to a top immigration official.
The warnings delivered to 44‑year‑old writer and editor David Streever follow weeks of heavy scrutiny of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, including the fatal shooting of two protesters, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, during anti‑ICE demonstrations in Minnesota. Streever's case, Michelle Breidenbach, sits alongside similar complaints from another New York resident and a separate legal battle over subpoenas aimed at unmasking anonymous critics of Trump's mass deportation programme on social media.
