The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests customer data from Google about a Canadian man who has not entered the United States for more than a decade, according to reporting by Wired and Ars Technica. The effort is tied to the man’s posts on X criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and referencing killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Both outlets report that DHS is using a 1930s-era customs law to support its demand for information. Ars Technica characterizes the approach as an abuse of the older statute, while Wired focuses on the use of that legal framework to obtain location and activity data. The reporting describes the request as aimed at identifying or tracking the individual’s online activity and potential location-related information connected to the posts. The outlets also note that the matter involves a person located in Canada and is not based on recent U.S. entry. The reports do not indicate that DHS has publicly stated the final outcome of the request, but they describe the request itself and the connection to the individual’s social-media criticism of ICE operations.
