美国联邦法官周二裁定，向美国移民海关执法局（ICE）官员发送严厉批评邮件不构成违法行为，这一决定对批评者的言论自由提供了法律保护1。法院发布了初步禁令，明确禁止ICE以受宪法第一修正案保护的言论为由威胁对批评者进行起诉1。
批评邮件的发送人是大卫·斯特里弗，他在1月份向ICE代理主任托德·莱昂斯发送了这封邮件1。斯特里弗在邮件中对ICE官员射杀两名明尼苏达州抗议者感到愤怒，并表示"你是一个怪物般的人类，将以美国的莱因哈德·海德里希、屠夫的身份载入史册……你永远不会获得安宁"1。ICE随后威胁要对斯特里弗进行起诉，但法官的最新裁定禁止了这一威胁1。
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that sending emails to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials stating their actions will cause them to "never know peace" constitutes protected speech under the First Amendment 1. The decision issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting ICE from threatening prosecution based on constitutionally protected criticism 1.
The ruling arose after David Streever sent a scathing email to ICE acting director Todd Lyons in January expressing outrage over ICE officers shooting two Minnesota protesters 1. In his message, Streever wrote: "You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America's Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher...You will never know peace" 1. ICE subsequently threatened to prosecute Streever for the email 1. The court's decision blocks the agency from following through on such threats based on protected expression 1.
