The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may no longer issue a “warning notice”, threatening prosecution against a US citizen for criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal judge in Washington DC ruled Tuesday.

judge → issue → DC
Judge Rudolph Contreras sided with David Streever, a New York man who accused DHS officials of violating his first amendment rights when they showed up first at his home in June with a “warning notice”, claiming he made a threat against former ICE director Todd Lyons, and then to a hotel where Streever and his young daughter were staying.

Streever → side → hotel
The notice and visits were in response to an email Streever sent Lyons in January, after federal agents fatally shot two US citizens amid an immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
asserted
agents → send → Minnesota
In the email, Streever called Lyons a “monstrous human being”, compared him to Nazi and warned him that his own conscience would “eat himself alive”.
asserted
conscience → call → himself
Contreras ruled the notice “practically shouts that Mr. Streever may be prosecuted if he continues to engage in his political speech”.
uncertain
he → rule → speech
“Americans have long voiced their displeasure with their government.

The court order is limited in that it prohibits DHS, secretary Markwayne Mullin or ICE from issuing another “warning notice”, making similar threats or pursuing prosecution for his speech while Streever’s case continues in court.

case → limit → court

“I’m deeply relieved that the court affirmed what I knew all along: that I am permitted to speak my conscience in the United States of America, including when I criticize government officials,” Streever said in a statement.
asserted
Streever → ’m → statement
Streever added: “While I wish this ordeal hadn’t happened, hopefully this incident will serve as a reminder that the First Amendment protects us all.”
asserted
Amendment → add → us
DHS previously defended its investigation into Streever by tying his email into a larger trend of threats made against law enforcement officials – particularly those enforcing the Trump administration’s anti-immigration agenda.
asserted
DHS → defend → agenda
Immigration enforcement officials have consistently justified federal agents’ aggressive actions by claiming they are protecting immigration enforcement officers.
asserted
they → justify → officers
Contreras said his ruling allows DHS officials to investigate future conduct to ensure the safety of law enforcement and public officials, so long as it does not infringe on Streever’s protected speech.
asserted
it → say → speech
