The only way to limit the freedom of speech is to arrest said person based on his twitter account, and that is where the freedom of speech battle belongs in that case not in a case of government asking for user account information.
Twitter will get served with a subpoena for the account information and they will comply.

Seeing how its about Trump, National Security, President safety, Patriot Act could be used as means to compel all they need is a few tweets to based it off of.
The government could also threaten to arrest them. They also have to justify why they want that information, which goes along 4th Amendment rights. They are literally restricting the freedom of privacy in order to be able to restrict the freedom of speech, sad!
Why do conservatives seem to hate freedom so much?
"cause damage to the department's reputation or bring it into disrepute."
Why is Trump allowed to tweet then ?
Twitter could easily claim to be a media outlet, and the government would have to show compelling reasons for gaining that information. If they cannot show that a crime was committed, a limited-government judge is going to side with Twitter. Twitter had the funding and the social backing to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Privacy rights would apply. Which judges would hate an invasion of privacy more, liberals or conservatives? Since the government is coming across as petty, and wanting to punish people for their speech, it can also turn into a 1st Amendment issue. This is problematic for the government if they cannot demonstrate to a judge that a crime has been committed.
Any decent judge will ask WHY the government wants that information.
But so far, I haven't seen any tweets that would justify such a thing. Have they made any threats to the President or national security? Have they hinted they are working with foreign governments? Since the President himself has leaked classified information, as have many of his staffers, they can't really justify that approach, either.
It's okay, no one loves free speech as much as Trump.
So that is all I have to say online to get away with any view I may have in the heat of the moment? Got it.The account's description, however, stresses that its views are “Not the views of DHS or USCIS.”
Also Twitter saying they protect the privacy of their users..... ahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhaa.
I really would not be surprised if they came up with a bullshit excuse to get that info.
Its not Like Trump gives a shit about any values that do not benefit him. Its a mystery why 36% of the Americans still approve of them.
