Department of Homeland "security" subpoenas critical social media

The department has sent Google, Meta and other companies hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or comment on Immigration and Customs Enforcement Unlike arrest warrants, which require a judge's approval, administrative subpoenas are issued by the Department of Homeland Security. They were only sparingly used in the past, primarily to uncover the people behind social media accounts engaged in serious crimes such as child trafficking, said tech employees familiar with the legal tool. But last year, the department ramped up its use of the subpoenas to unmask anonymous social media accounts. In September, for example, it sent Meta administrative subpoenas to identify the people behind Instagram accounts that posted about ICE raids in California, according to the A.C.L.U. The subpoenas were challenged in court, and the Department of Homeland Security withdrew the requests for information before a judge could rule.

De Minaur wint eenzijdige finale ABN Amro Open, dat net geen bezoekersrecord noteert

Na twee verloren finales op rij prijkt de naam van Alex De Minaur eindelijk als winnaar op de befaamde boarding in Rotterdam Ahoy. In een eenzijdige finale versloeg hij Felix Auger-Alliassime met 6-3 en 6-2. Toernooidirecteur Richard Krajicek kijkt met een goed gevoel terug op de week die net geen bezoekersrecord opleverde, maar maakt zich ook enigszins zorgen over de speelkalender en de intrede van een nieuw toernooi in Saudi-Arabië.

US forces board second Venezuela‑linked oil tanker in Indian Ocean

Pentagon tracked sanctioned Veronica III from Caribbean Sea after it left Venezuela on day Maduro was captured

US military forces boarded another sanctioned tanker in the Indian Ocean after tracking the vessel from the Caribbean Sea in an effort to target illicit oil connected to Venezuela, the Pentagon said on Sunday.

Venezuela had faced US sanctions on its oil for several years, relying on a shadow fleet of falsely flagged tankers to smuggle crude into global supply chains. President Donald Trump ordered a quarantine of sanctioned tankers in December to pressure then president NicolĂĄs Maduro before Maduro was apprehended in January during an American military operation.
