Tracking the Critics: A Chilling Precedent for Free Speech The recent revelation that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents tracked a New York man to his home, airport, and hotel to question him about a critical email he sent to the former head of ICE has raised alarms about the government's willingness to silence dissent.
This incident highlights a disturbing trend that threatens the fundamental right to free speech in America.
The actions taken by ICE agents against the New York man bear an unsettling resemblance to Japan's infamous COICA law, which was used in the 1990s to silence vocal critics of the government.
