The Trump administration has reportedly subpoenaed the social media platform Reddit to appear before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., as part of its greater effort to identify a Reddit user who posted information and criticisms about an immigration enforcement officer.
In a subpoena issued at the end of March, first obtained and reported on by The Intercept, the government gave Reddit until April 14 to appear before a grand jury and to provide personal information about an anonymous user, identified only as John Doe in court filings.
