The Department of Homeland Security has been quietly demanding tech companies
turn over user information about critics of the Trump administration, according to reports.
In several cases over recent months, Homeland Security has relied on the use of administrative subpoenas
to seek identifiable information about individuals who run anonymous Instagram accounts,
which share posts about ICE immigration raids in their local neighborhoods.
These subpoenas have also been used to demand information about people who have criticized Trump officials or protested government policies.
