Lawsuit challenges ICE warnings as First Amendment violations.
Event Overview
David Streever, a U.S. citizen from upstate New York, is suing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for violating his First Amendment rights. The lawsuit follows federal officers delivering a warning notice to his home and attempting to confront him at a New York City hotel after he emailed then-acting ICE director Todd Lyons.
