New Yorker sues ICE for warning over 'threatening' email to former director

Rochester, New York. A local resident, David Streever, filed a federal lawsuit this week in Washington D.C. after two federal officers visited his Rochester home in June and presented a warning to his wife about an email he had sent in January to then-acting ICE director Todd Lyons following deadly Minnesota incidents. Streever says the email was critical but not a threat. The immediate consequence is a legal challenge asserting First Amendment violations; the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression is representing Streever and filed the complaint Monday. Federal officials told local media they treat threats seriously and declined further comment this week; the lawsuit seeks judicial review of ICE's warning practices and potential remedies.
