A federal judge on Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction in the case of Dan Streever, who was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security for criticizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, finding the government likely violated Streever’s First Amendment Rights. 

U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee, issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by Streever, who was investigated by ICE after sending a critical email to then-acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
