A Rochester, New York man, David Streever, sues U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after federal officers visited his home to deliver a warning connected to an email he sent to the agency’s then-acting director. Streever, a U.S. citizen, reportedly mailed the email in January to Todd Lyons, the acting ICE director, after an immigration officer fatally shot Minneapolis resident Renee Good during a confrontation that was captured on video and occurred amid anti-ICE demonstrations.
According to Streever’s attorneys, he was traveling in Finland when two ICE officers arrived at his home in June. His wife received the warning notice, which stated that the email Streever had sent months earlier was being treated as a threat. Streever’s lawsuit challenges ICE’s decision to send officers to his residence and the circumstances surrounding the warning.
Both accounts describe the same core events: an email sent to acting ICE leadership, a subsequent warning notice tied to that email, and a home visit by ICE officers while Streever was away.
