Two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents issued a warning to a Syracuse woman Tuesday to remove a social media account they said threatens federal agents.
Paigelynne Gonyea said she believes they are referring to a January post where she named the ICE agent who shot protester Renee Good.
...
The agents handed Gonyea a form letter that says they were investigating threats made against ICE personnel. The form says the agents had identified an Instagram account they believe breaks federal law. They asked her to remove and discontinue the behavior, according to the unsigned document she shared on Instagram.

Gonyea posts frequently about immigration on her social media accounts. In January, she posted the name of Jonathan Ross, citing news reports. Ross is the ICE agent who shot protester Renee Good in Minnesota. His name has been widely reported in news stories and other social media posts across the world.

Gonyea said she does not consider it doxxing to quote a news story and call for an indictment.
“I didn’t dox his personal information, such as address, phone number,” she said.
...
David Brody, one of the two agents, said he could not answer questions from a reporter.
I don't know if mentioning the name of one of the ICE goons is enough to get their panties in a twist, or saying that one believes is that the named agent committed a crime and should be indicted is the threshhold.
But what is scary is that ICE is taking the time to go around and intimidate citizens who publicly oppose their Gestapoesque methods.
