Our Reading
The update arrives with confidence.
ICE is using administrative subpoenas to get around judicial oversight and demand user data from tech companies. This includes info on anonymous online accounts that document ICE operations. Because who needs a warrant when you have a subpoena? The targets include social media companies and email providers. Because anonymity is so last season. ICE is just the latest to join the “we don’t need no stinkin’ warrants” club.
