The link is https://icepi.cx/ but they are currently fighting a domain takedown.

The real importance of this is archival. Who knows what would have been burned and shredded to protect the masked brutes.

The US has no actual national security at moment.

Unrelated to the content of the article, but what a wonderful site text.npr.org is. It looks like a slightly enhanced version of my iPhone's reader mode and it displays instantly, scrolling with no lag, stuttering, or dynamic loading of page elements. I wish more of the web were like this.

The Germans knew to identify ex Stasi and their informants so they know who to beware of.

Good. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.

Dozens of the names, at least, correspond to J6 individuals.

> exposing the names, phone numbers and addresses > Ottignon, who has worked on similar data leak projects in the past, rejected suggestions that he and others connected to the Department of Peace or Distribution[sic] Denials of Secrets were doxing government employees. Do words mean nothing anymore?

This gave me schadenfreude... Is it bad to feel schadenfreude?

ICE and DHS should be abolished, INS should be restored and immigration policy should be reformed to be far more humane. All of these employees should be barred from any and all future public service (and prosecuted where appropriate). There's no room for sympathy for an agency who routinely violates human rights, fires off tear gas by schools, kills civilians in the streets, fires their weapons into moving vehicles and on and on.

Unlike the SS, surveillance goes both ways now...

maybe i'm just a pessimist but i don't see anything really coming from this. democrats win in 2028, ICE gets scaled down and returns to Biden-era size, maybe 5-10 agents go to prison. so what if the public has their addresses and phone numbers? what changes?

enforcing laws is like racist and sad and stuff

They should all spend the next term in the prisons they're kidnapping people into. Going to be interesting explaining this to future employers who will now be more equipped to identify new hires, or current hires that don't align.
