ICE tracked a guy across the country for sending a mean email

Original version ·

Apparently, venting your frustrations to a federal agency is now grounds for a cross-country surveillance mission.

Federal agents from ICE decided that a single critical email from a New York man wasn't just a nuisance—it was a field operation. They didn't just reply to the message; they tracked the guy to his house, the airport, and his hotel to grill him about his correspondence with their former boss.

It is comforting to know that taxpayer dollars are being put to such efficient use. Instead of dealing with actual national security, the agency spent its time conducting an impromptu scavenger hunt just because someone hurt their feelings in a digital letter.

Sometimes the government makes you feel like the main character in a low-budget spy thriller, just with significantly more paperwork and fewer cool gadgets.
