Recent reports reveal that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is employing a controversial legal strategy to track down and intimidate citizens who express dissent, particularly those critical of the Trump administration. A notable case involves a 67-year-old U.S. citizen who was scrutinized after sending a mild email criticizing the DHS. This incident marks a broader trend where Homeland Security is allegedly pressuring tech companies to provide personal data on critics of the government. The tactic has raised alarms regarding privacy and the implications of governmental overreach in the digital age, as DHS purportedly uses rare legal tools, including secretive subpoenas, to target individuals who voice opposition.
