US EditionWhistleblower Leaks Personal Data of 4,500 ICE Agents
A whistleblower shared personal data of about 4,500 ICE and DHS employees, increasing risks amid an 8,000% rise in death threats, officials said.
- Last week, a DHS whistleblower provided Dominick Skinner, founder of ICE List, with personal data of close to 4,500 federal agents and employees, Skinner said.
- ICE List launched in June last year amid the Trump administration's enforcement push and drew a million views by October, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good described as 'the last straw'.
- The site is run by three people and uses artificial intelligence verification to confirm identities, while Skinner said not all information is published, exempting childcare workers and nurses.
- DHS officials warned of an 8,000% increase in threats and a 1,347% rise in assaults, amid lawmakers' efforts to combat doxxing last year, according to ICE and DHS.
- Reporters' outreach to DHS and ICE indicates the 2,000 records previously held by ICE List and the figure 8,000 referenced as frontline enforcement agents reveal inconsistent counts, while Dominick Skinner, based in the Netherlands, said the leak may intensify scrutiny.
