On March 27, 2026, I received the following email from Assistant U.S. Attorney Pam
Johann, which stated: “Our office received the Motion to Quash that you filed in the above case. I
have been informed that DHS has rescinding the summons and has notified Reddit of this. Because
there is no subpoena to quash, this miscellaneous matter is now moot. We request that you
voluntarily dismiss the matter.”

ICE withdrew another lawless administrative subpoena, rather than defend it in court.

This time, the subpoena (technically a summons) targeted a Reddit user. @cldc03.bsky.social represented the Reddit user and challenge it in court. www.eff.org/files/2026/0...

Approximately 40–50 people seated on wooden benches, lawn chairs, and camp chairs arranged in a wide semicircle around a central campfire in a wooded clearing. Two people stand at the front near the fire, apparently leading a presentation or activity. The surrounding landscape includes tall evergreen trees, a green tent, a small open-sided shelter, and rustic wooden stairs leading up a hillside. The scene suggests an outdoor training, workshop, or community gathering at a camp or retreat setting. Faces have been obscured for privacy.

Infographic with a dark red background and the Civil Liberties Defense Center logo in the upper left corner. Bold white text reads "Activist Anniversaries & Days of Action." Two entries are listed: Entry 1 — "Feb. 27, 1973" — Approximately 200 Oglala Sioux and American Indian Movement activists occupy the Pine Ridge Reservation in Wounded Knee, South Dakota for 71 days to protest tribal leadership corruption and federal treaty violations. Entry 2 — "March 3" — International Sex Workers' Rights Day commemorates a 2001 event where over 25,000 sex workers gathered in Kolkata, India to demand workers' rights and safety in the face of stigma, criminalization, and violence. Each entry is accompanied by a teal icon — raised fists for entry 1 and a balance scale for entry 2.
