Just a day after launching the legal action, Twitter has pulled the suit against the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to court documents filed Friday.
A “rogue” government account, @ALT_USCIS describes its goal as “immigration resistance.” In its initial lawsuit, Twitter said that it received a CBP summons on March 14 demanding records that would “unmask” the people behind @ALT_USCIS.
However, in court documents filed Friday Twitter says that counsel for DHS and CBP from the Department of Justice contacted the company’s lawyers “to advise that U.S. Customs and Border Protection has withdrawn the summons and the summons no longer has any force or effect.”
CBP and Twitter declined to comment on the matter when contacted by Fox News.
