The Doxxing of ICE Agents Proves Accountability is Inevitable
ICE can wear masks all they want, but they will be unmasked and face accountability eventually. This was made clear when hackers doxxed people working for DHS and ICE.
As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers shoot pepper balls at a pastor, zip-tie children, attack women, tear gassing a two-year-old in a neighborhood, and attack and detain U.S. citizens, it’s evident that they think they share President Donald Trump’s “immunity”.
They are misinformed.

They do not share his immunity. And they seem to have a vague fear of this as they wear masks to hide their identity as they violate the U.S. Constitution, which police officers are not allowed to do for obvious reasons.
But the masks won’t work when hackers come calling.
And hackers have come calling.
A group of hackers from the Com posted “the names and personal information of hundreds of government officials, including people working for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” 404 Media reported.
The media organization reviewed the spreadsheets posted and determined that it contained the “alleged personal information of 680 DHS officials; another contained data on more than 170 FBI email addresses and their owners; and the third contained the apparent personal information of more than 190 Department of Justice officials.”
They got DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials.
404 Media was able to corroborate some of the data that was posted by the hackers to Telegram, which confirmed “that many parts of the dox did relate to government officials with the same name, agency, address, or phone number. In some cases, the addresses posted by the hackers appear to relate to residential addresses rather than offices.”
The Trump administration got Apple to ban the apps people were using to collect data on the agents and the administration is intimidating people who are documenting the abuse, but they can’t stop hackers.
The more they try and the more they lie about what’s going on, the worse the hacks will be.
They are in an even worse position because they fired many of the people in charge of cybersecurity. Due to these reckless firings, Politico reported in April: “Trump’s firing of NSA chief is ‘rolling out the red carpet’ for cyber attacks. Gen. Timothy Haugh’s firing as head of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command has left lawmakers worried about the future of the nation’s cyber defenses."
Lawmakers and national security veterans reacted with shock on Friday to President Donald Trump’s decision to fire the head of one of the country’s most powerful intelligence agencies, describing it as a “chilling” action that would damage America’s cyber defenses and “roll out the red carpet” for attacks on critical networks by foreign adversaries.
Reports at the time indicated that Haugh was fired because far-right extremist Laura Loomer thought he wasn’t loyal enough to Donald Trump.
ICE agents may face charges after the violent arrest of an WGN journalist in Chicago, which violated a court order, the Manhattan Times reported.
Federal agents are facing strong criticism after a disturbing video showed them violently arresting WGN video producer Debbie Brockman on Friday morning. Legal experts say this is a clear violation of a federal court order that protects journalists. Brockman was filming what looked like an improper detention of a Latino man in Chicago when the agents suddenly targeted her.
In a matter of moments, she was thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and partially stripped as her pants were pulled down in public view. Even after she identified herself as a journalist and asked someone to call her newsroom, multiple officers restrained her and dragged her toward a vehicle.
Trump’s ICE and DHS have been busted internationally for lying about their attacks on American citizens, including an attack on a 15-year-old girl, which the administration told the media was old footage from a year ago.
However, BBC Verify stepped in to prove it was recent footage of ICE officials violently attacking a 15-year-old girl and arresting her.
Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, died after being detained in an immigration raid. He moved to the US at age 4, and “is one of at least 15 people who have died in immigration detention since Donald Trump returned to office,” according to Sky News. His family had no idea.
So when masked people come and kidnap someone off the streets, they are being sent places where they might not be getting appropriate medical care. The majority of these people are not criminals, either, so Donald Trump’s policy is to let people die in the custody of US Immigration Officials, which is not upholding human rights.
