Federal Officers Confront Poll Worker Over Social Media Post Criticizing ICE

Gonyea was confronted by two federal officers at a polling place in Syracuse during New York's primaries about a January Instagram post criticizing an ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Good.
The officers issued a warning claiming her post could be considered doxxing, despite not including the officer's address, and she refused to sign the document.
Civil liberties experts and local officials expressed concerns about the implications for free speech and the intimidation of voters and poll workers.
Representative John Mannion has called for a review of ICE's actions, emphasizing the need to protect online speech from government scrutiny.
