    Good god the title is very misleading. The grand jury hearing isn’t until April 14. It’s still chilling that the administration will go to these lengths to apparently silence criticism, but I’m not convinced there is more to this story. Although the reddit user in question is enlisting a civil liberties group to represent him, I’m thinking he/she may not be a terrorist mastermind who is a danger to the American people.

    Actual title:

    A Secret Grand Jury Is Seeking the Identity of a Reddit User Who Criticized ICE

    It’s completely unclear what illegal thing the user is supposed to have done, other than dislike ICE.
