ICE urged to explain memo about collecting info on protesters

A retired US citizen emailed a DHS attorney urging mercy for an asylum seeker he had read about. Five hours later he received an email from Google advising him the federal government had served Google with a subpoena demanding information about him. Then they followed up by knocking on his door.

The federal government's concerted effort to intimidate citizens should concern every American.

"Urged" means ICE is already beyond accountability to anyone other than Trump, they're secret police. Trouble ahead!

I just realised that in the UK this is normal. Oh dear.

What's there to explain? We should all know where fascism takes us.

The headline isn't quite right, the wording "urged to explain" suggests the problem is the contents of the memo, but

> "... demanded that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirm or deny the existence..."

shows the contention is it existing in the first place.
