The Trump administration appears to be seeking to unmask the identity of social media users who’ve been plotting attacks on federal immigration authorities.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro’s office has in recent days subpoenaed various social media companies as part of criminal investigations into two troublemakers, according to Bloomberg.
Attorneys for the two anonymous troublemakers appeared to admit to Bloomberg that the investigations are related to allegations that their clients had doxxed and threatened at least one immigration agent.
The attorneys denied that their clients did anything wrong.
In fact, both the attorneys and Bloomberg portrayed the two clients as innocent “dissenters” being targeted with “intimidation” for speaking out against the Trump administration.
FYI, it was the former Biden administration that tried to intimidate and silence dissenters for speaking out against the administration and its policies.

Bloomberg also cited so-called civil liberties groups — which are in fact just left-wing agitprop organizations — who believe that the administration’s attempts to protect federal immigration agents are “an attempt to chill protected free speech.”
The media always does this. They label violent left-wing riots “peaceful protests” and violent left-wing speech “free speech,” all while acting like a Republican merely voicing a different opinion is itself violence.
Lawyers for the two troublemakers have reportedly requested that the federal government’s social media requests be thrown out. One of the attorneys, Civil Liberties Defense Center co-leader Lauren Regan, alleged that all her client did was post stuff as simple as “f–k ICE.”
Regan also alleged that the feds had originally just sought an administrative summons for her client before upgrading it to a grand jury subpoena.
“They started with an administrative summons, which does not indicate a criminal investigation, and then progressed to the grand jury subpoena, which does,” she complained, adding that this is allegedly “further proof that this is a bad faith attempt to unmask the user.”
It’s not clear if she was aware of the irony of someone who doesn’t want to be unmasked turning around and unmasking immigration agents.
The Bloomberg story also draws quotes from Joshua Koltun, a lawyer representing a leftist who doxxed the immigration agent who fatally shot violent leftist rioter Renee Good.
“The post [containing the doxxed intel] does not contain a trace or an inkling that any violence was intended,” he said to Bloomberg in defense of his client.
As if that made it OK …
Bloomberg’s report, which was blatantly sympathetic to the troublemakers, as well as similar from other captured media outlets, has spurred backlash on social media from those with, you know, a brain (*Language warning):
They were doxxxing federal ice agents.

Don’t threaten people.
‘The probes, from the Trump-aligned US Attorney’s Office in Washington, focus on potential doxxing or threats against officers, escalating from DHS administrative requests amid efforts to protect ICE agents through measures like masking and anti-doxxing…— John (@Cjb8340) May 29, 2026

All this comes the same week that Republican Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s family home was swatted by a lying leftist who claimed to have heard gunshots coming from the home.
“Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of a “swatting” incident – a false call reporting gunshots intended to provoke a response from law enforcement officials – on Wednesday night, according to a report on social media,” SCOTUSblog confirmed.
Police responded to a call for the sound of gunshots at the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett last night, but quickly realized it was a swatting call and cleared after meeting with her security detail.

It remains to be seen how long it’ll take before the media comes out in defense of the swatter …
