The National Post reports in its Thursday, May 7, edition that a Canadian critic of the Trump administration has filed a legal complaint against Markwayne Mullin, the Secretary of Homeland Security, to prevent the United States government from obtaining his personal information from Alphabet's Google. The Post's Stewart Lewis writes that the American Civil Liberties Union announced that the DHS summoned Google for records after a plaintiff criticized the January killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. The lawsuit to quash the summons has been brought by the ACLU on the Canadian man's behalf in the U.S. district court of Northern California, where Google is headquartered. "Plaintiff John Doe uses a pseudonym on-line and in this lawsuit to protect his privacy and family," says the ACLU. "Doe regularly posts strongly worded criticisms of President Trump and his policies on (his) social media accounts, including his account on X. His posts have collectively received well over 100,000 views." On Feb. 14, 2026, DHS issued a summons to Google requesting information about the Gmail address linked to Doe's X account, covering Sept. 1, 2025, to Feb. 4, 2026.
