✦AI Summary
ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is increasingly investigating American civilians for online criticism and alleged threats against agency employees. Critics argue this represents an overreach of an internal watchdog department into civilian affairs.
The agents at the poll site asked Gonyea to sign a warning notice that said it was unlawful to “threaten to assault, kidnap and/or murder” federal officials or their immediate family members in an effort to impede that federal official’s work. The form also requested that she remove her post “and/or discontinue” her behavior.
