Could be state/local or DHS/ICE/Broder Patrol.

A House committee issued journalist Seth Harp a subpoena for his reporting.
He’s been falsely accused of “leaking classified intel.” And now, a GOP lawmaker wants him prosecuted under the Espionage Act.
This is a chilling attack on press freedom. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain.

One crucial point made here is that DOJ almost certainly justified the search of Natanson’s home by asserting that *she* (and not just the contractor) was violating the Espionage Act. Of course, if she’s violating it, so is every other national security reporter.
