>A woman from Omaha, Nebraska, posted a video on X of a visit from a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agent concerning a post she had made online about White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
>"The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet. No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now," Jamie Bonkiewicz wrote on X on Friday, sub-posting the video in response to her comment on the matter.
>The USSS confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday that "it was a special agent with the U.S. Secret Service as well as a local police partner featured in that video during a protective intelligence interview."
>Criminal punishment for online messages remains a controversial topic, with some critics alleging it is tantamount to "thought policing," such as in the United Kingdom where some individuals have been arrested for comments they made online. Comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested in September for a comment that was deemed to be potentially inciting violence.
>Tensions in the U.S. remain high as the Trump administration cracks down on demonstrations and protesters in Minnesota over their opposition to deportation operations from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), all of which the administration maintains is lawful. The tension hit a fever pitch this month with the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who Minnesota officials say was acting as a legal observer of ICE operations at the time while Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem characterized Good as a domestic terrorist.
