For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, thereβs essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβciting facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
