"Reportedly.'

That headline may be true. Or maybe it was released by 'ICE-helpers' trying to get people to stop all of the well-deserved harsh criticism. By now that's hundreds of millions of names to go through. Maybe that will help them burn through their remaining funds faster.

It'll be hard to burn through the remaining funds of unlimited funds. But I hope it happens.

"Reportedly", as in, according to someone else's report. In this case, that'd be Sheera Frenkel and Mike Isaac at The New York Times ( archive ).

Unless your quibble is with their sources, which are kept anonymous:

In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the Department of Homeland Security, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

" ... Or maybe it was released by ‘ICE-helpers’ trying to get people to stop all of the well-deserved harsh criticism." Oh wait, the NYT is the holy of holies... never mind ...
