Original Date Announced
February 3, 2026The Washington Post reports that DHS is increasingly relying on administrative subpoenas to obtain personal data from technology companies, universities, employers, and social-media platforms. Former officials and experts estimate DHS issues thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of these subpoenas each year, often approved quickly by mid-level officials and shielded from public accountability. In recent months, DHS has used them to seek information about student protesters, workers and health systems critical of ICE actions, and persons posting online about enforcement activity.
