(49,073 posts)It is the Department of Homeland Security.
A probable US government employee using an Alt_USCIS account moniker is embarrassing the tRumpanzees and they desperately want to shut her/him down. That would be a violation of free speech.
They are such amateurs, even the "special agent", that they demanded the identity be revealed by a deadline the day before they faxed the demand.
As amateurs, they claimed a section of law about commercial goods applied even though no commercial or non-commercial goods were involved.
They said that the person behind the moniker had a right to respond to the demand but then they claimed that Twitter was forbidden from contacting and informing the person.
Executive summary: The government officials are behaving like fascists in an attempt to shut down free speech they don't like.
