David Streever of Rochester, New York, sued Department of Homeland Security officials on Monday, alleging that ICE agents tracked him to a vacation location after he sent an email criticizing the agency. The suit claims the agents' actions violated his First Amendment rights.
Streever compared ICE's chief to a Nazi in the message, according to court filings. He said the comparison prompted the agency to locate him while he was traveling with his daughter.
The complaint states that agents showed up at his door during the trip. Streever argues the tracking and visit amounted to retaliation for protected speech. The case is pending in federal court.
