verifiedcarried forward

DHS sent hundreds of administrative subpoenas, which need no judicial sign-off, demanding names, emails, phone numbers, and other identifying details for accounts that criticized ICE or reported agent locations. Google, Meta, and Reddit complied with some requests. The ACLU filed a motion on affected users' behalf.

How we know: Carried forward, not re-checked in v3.28.
