The Trump administration’s latest power grab

The Department of Homeland Security is using administrative subpoenas to target Americans, and it’s a blatant attack on free speech. Privacy and civil rights groups are sounding the alarm, and it’s about time someone did. It’s a shady tactic that’s been flying under the radar, but not anymore.

What’s the big deal about administrative subpoenas?

These subpoenas are basically a way for the government to demand info from individuals or organizations without having to go through the hassle of getting a court order. And that’s a problem. It’s an end-run around the system, and it won’t be used for good. Don’t expect DHS to use this power wisely – they won’t.

So, what’s the point of all this? It’s simple: the Trump administration wants to shut people up, and they’re willing to use any tool they can find to do it. It’s ridiculous, and it’s un-American. Someone needs to hold them accountable, and fast.
