According to the ACLU [1]:

> This document explains two key ways that recipients can resist immigration administrative subpoenas: First, any gag order in these subpoenas has no legal effect; you are free to publicize them and inform the target of the subpoena. Second, you do not have to comply with the subpoena at all, unless ICE goes to court—where you can raise a number of possible objections—and the court orders compliance.

The next question is, who likes paying legal fees?

Is the ACLU offering to pay your legal bills or participate in your defense along with that legal advice that they're offering?

[hluska]

How is that relevant?

[busterarm]

It's relevant if you follow their legal advice and the government decides to pursue a case against you.

Even if you're in the right, defending yourself in a legal proceeding is expensive. You need a checkbook that can back up your confidence in what they're telling you. And sure, Google has that money, but they're also fighting off half of congress trying to break up their business.

It's in their best interests to do whatever the DoJ asks of them.
