Multiple reports say the U.S. Department of Justice is pursuing the identities of people behind anonymous posts on Reddit and X that criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to the outlets cited, Reddit and X have received grand jury subpoenas tied to the investigation, and the requests aim to obtain user information that could identify the authors of specific anti-ICE posts. The reporting characterizes the move as part of an intensified effort by the administration to determine who is posting online about ICE’s tactics. Both sources focus on the same basic elements: the DOJ uses grand jury subpoenas rather than public-facing requests, the target platforms are Reddit and X, and the sought information relates to users who posted criticizing ICE. The information available in these reports does not specify what particular content is covered by the subpoenas, whether any charges are filed, or what legal theories the government is using. The accounts also do not indicate how the platforms are responding publicly.
