AP: ICE sent officers to a man’s home over an email. Now he’s suing.
“David Streever, who is a U.S. citizen, was on a trip to Finland when two officers showed up to his Rochester home in June and presented his wife with a warning notice informing him that the email he sent months earlier was considered a threat, his attorneys said.”
“This is very clearly within the protection of the First Amendment,” said Adam Steinbaugh, Streever’s attorney from with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression which has taken up the case.
