An update on David Strever's battle with ICE in #RochesterNY , as reported today on our local NPR station WXXI.

"A Tuesday court ruling means [Streever] no longer has to worry that federal officers may threaten him over a harsh email he sent to the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this year...
...Streever's email compared ICE's former acting director, Todd Lyons, to a Nazi, called him a "monstrous human being" and predicted he would be tormented by his own conscience...
...The warning notice agents left at Streever's home said "YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW...Receipt of this Notice will be taken into consideration, should you continue to be involved in any criminal activities described above"...
"Mr. Streever's injury is the loss of his freedom to engage in political speech now because the threat of such an investigation or prosecution looms over him like the sword of Damocles, and he is forced to self-censor under that threat," Contreras wrote in his ruling.
....The court order blocks DHS and ICE from, "taking further steps in reliance on the Warning Notice…and from issuing any substantially similar threats to [Streever] aimed at his protected expression during the course of this matter."
...Streever said, "I'm deeply relieved that the court affirmed what I knew all along: that I am permitted to speak my conscience in the United States of America, including when I criticize government officials."
