It’s not normal or proper for the DHS to subpoena information about citizens who express an opinion to government officials. This is transparently an action undertaken to intimidate. The language used in the headline conveys the meaning much more clearly than a “neutral” (read: complicit) phrasing would.
Didn’t say it was normal. And, again, all for publicly shaming these dummys, but “Hunt Down” does not, in fact convey what actually happened. Words have meaning, and this headline is intentionally sensational.
And it’s apparently “complicit” to say otherwise. Noted.
But that is exactly what happened, and it’s what the article is about. “Hunt down” is an idiomatic phrase in English, and it would be not at all unusual for me to, say, hunt down a USB adapter in my office. Leaving that detail out of the headline would be burying the lede.

Are you thinking his email included his home address and an invitation to come debate? Unless it did, seems like a pretty accurate headline to me.
Are you seriously simping for ICEatzgruppen?
I had no idea that’s what I was doing, but apparently we can only critique the nazis and not anyone else or we’re nazi simps. Noted. (also, fuck off)
