It’s OK to tell ICE their actions will haunt them, judge rules in speech fight
摘要
联邦法官裁定，向移民和海关执法局（ICE）官员发送邮件称其行为将困扰他们，并不违法，并发布初步禁令，阻止ICE因受保护言论而威胁起诉批评者。此前，David Streever因不满ICE相关枪击事件，向ICE代理局长发送措辞严厉的邮件。法官此次裁决支持其言论受法律保护。
It’s not illegal to send an email telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that their actions will haunt them, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, granting a preliminary injunction that blocks ICE from threatening to prosecute a critic for protected speech.
Back in January, David Streever sent a scathing three-paragraph email to then-acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons. Outraged by the killings of two Minnesota protestors against ICE, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Streever told Lyons that he was a “monstrous human being” who will eat himself “alive with shame” for defending officers who shot people who posed no threat and had no weapons. Comparing Lyons to an infamous high-ranking Nazi cop, Streever predicted that “even Trump” would one day turn on Lyons for defending the “obvious” slayings of Americans.

You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”
