(WHAM) —Federal agents showed up at a Rochester man's home last week, months after he emailed the head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement condemning immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis following the killing of Alex Pretti, according to his attorney. David Streever, a father of two and former journalist, was on a trip to Finland with one of his children when his wife answered the door to their home and was handed an unsigned warning from ICE, attorney Adam Steinbaugh said.

"It is appealing to the conscience of the director of ICE. It is essentially saying, 'Think about how you're going to feel later on in your lif…
