Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has 10 tough questions for the department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), all of which can be more easily summed up in a single, blunter question: what the hell are you guys doing over there?

via Senator: domain name seizures “alarmingly unprecedented”.

What the hell is immigration and customs doing seizing domain names in the first place? The Department of Homeland Security should have much higher priorities to focus on. And does anyone have a constitutional justification for this entire operation?

I did send a short note to my Representative and Senators asking about this:

Dear xxx,
I was just reading an article on ICE seizing domain names of sites that linked to potential pirate sites, evidently without any due process.
Can you explain the legality and constitutionality of their actions.
Thank you,
