Feds Want User Info From Website That Organized Anti-Trump Rallies

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A Los Angeles based web hosting company says the federal government wants user records from a website that's critical of president Trump.

Dreamhost provides the website hosting and domain name registry for www.disruptj20.org

The site posted sign ups for protests at the president's inauguration in January.

The U.S. Attorney's Office has subpoenaed records from the group.

The subpoena is related to the prosecution of people arrested during the protests.

Dreamhost says it's being told to hand over all information about the website - its owner and anyone who has visited the website.

A hearing on the case is scheduled for Friday.
