The DOJ Wants to Know Who on Reddit and X Is Criticizing ICE's Tactics

In seeking identities of those behind anonymous social media posts, the Trump administration is intensifying its pursuit using grand jury subpoenas.

The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, ratcheting up efforts to identify social media critics of government deportation efforts.

The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts, according to records shared by attorneys for the users.

I'd imagine there are thousands, probably tens or hundreds of thousands of posters denouncing the vile, immoral, and outright criminal acts ICE is carrying out on our streets and in their concentration camps.

If they are specifically targeting two "that have chided immigration enforcement efforts" something very, very weird is going on.
