And he told us that a pattern is starting to emerge.

Yeah, I mean, that's a good question.

Again, it's something that I think the courts are figuring out.

And like Jude said, every time that we know of that someone has challenged one of these administrative subpoenas, specifically in regards to them speaking out against ICE online –

In a court, DHS has withdrawn the subpoena almost immediately, within days or weeks.

And so, you know, the legality of it hasn't been challenged in court because DHS is withdrawing these subpoenas.

You know, for example, I talked to one person.

His name is Sherman Austin.

He lives in Long Beach, California.

He runs an account called Stop Ice Net.

It posts a lot of posts, you know, critical of ice.

And he shared a post back in September saying,

that identified an ICE agent who was operating in California.

It identified this agent all through publicly available information, like a photo taken in public of the ICE agent wearing his uniform with a name tag on it, stuff like that.

And it was a day or two later that he got one of these emails from Meta saying that law enforcement had requested his information.

And he had a couple email exchanges back and forth with Meta

finally got a redacted copy of the subpoena that was sent from DHS.

The reason given was, quote, officer safety or doxing, which, you know, Sherman Austin said was surprising to him.

And he did take it to court and DHS did withdraw that subpoena.

I mean, we honestly don't know.
