美国联邦检察官拒绝说明是否秘密获取了记者唐·柠檬的电话记录。1国土安全部向电信运营商Verizon发出行政传票，要求获取柠檬在2024年12月19日至2025年1月20日期间的电话记录。1该传票绕过了通常的法律程序，既未来自大陪审团，也未获得法院批准的搜查令，而是国土安全部的单方面请求。1国土安全部声称依据是《美国法典》第19编第1509条，这是一项有关海关调查的法律。1
专家指出政府正在滥用这一权力针对记者、活动人士、工会、非营利组织和网络批评人士。1此举被批评违反了第四修正案保护的隐私权。1柠檬因1月在圣保罗一座教堂的抗议活动中被控违反民权法而被起诉。1
Federal prosecutors have declined to confirm whether they covertly obtained the phone records of journalist Don Lemon, according to court filings.1 The Department of Homeland Security issued an administrative subpoena to Verizon seeking Lemon's telephone records spanning from December 19, 2024, to January 20, 2025.1 Unlike standard investigative procedures, this subpoena did not originate from a grand jury nor was it supported by a court-approved search warrant; instead, it represented a unilateral request by the Department of Homeland Security.1 The agency invoked 19 USC 1509, an obscure federal statute governing customs investigations, as the legal basis for the action.1
Legal experts have expressed concern that the government is misusing this investigative authority to target journalists, activists, labor unions, nonprofit organizations, and online critics.1 Lemon currently faces charges for allegedly violating civil rights laws during a protest at a church in Saint Paul in January.1 The covert nature of the records seizure and the invocation of customs law to bypass traditional warrant requirements raise Fourth Amendment concerns regarding privacy protections, according to analysts cited in the reporting.1
