And, now, he's come out expressing serious concern about the recent domain name seizures done by Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) group.

Senator Wyden Asks WTF Is Up With Homeland Security Domain Seizures | Techdirt
DHS thinks it has the authority to seize domain names for alleged copyright infringement, without any warning, any hearing, or any appeals process. This is chilling for free speech, and is wayyyyyy outside of anything the DHS should be involved with at all.
This needs to stop. Janet Napolitano is a horrible Homeland Security secretary and should resign immediately.
