New York Man Sues ICE Over Warning After Email

David Streever, a resident of upstate New York, filed a lawsuit against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on July 7, 2026, alleging that the agency sent federal officers to his home to issue a warning. The warning was reportedly related to an email Streever sent in January to Todd Lyons, who was then the acting director of ICE. Streever, a US citizen, was traveling in Finland when two officers visited his Rochester residence in June and presented his wife with the notice. His attorneys stated that the email was considered a threat by the agency. The email was sent following the fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Renee Good by an ICE officer during a confrontation that was captured on video at an anti-ICE demonstration. Streever's lawsuit claims that ICE's actions constituted a violation of his rights. The specific nature of the threat cited by ICE and the full details of the confrontation involving Renee Good have not been fully detailed in initial reports.
