In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made.\n\nWe are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest.\n\nActing ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable.\n\nWe will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made.\n\nPHOTOS: Underneath are four splashy media photos from the operation.",
