Leak Exposes 41,000 Homeland Security Workers–Including Undercover ICE Agents

This should already be public information imo.

This is a dupe. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50280691 The Techdirt article also links to the searchable front end to the dump. https://icepi.cx/

Not sure how I feel about this but I am sure about one thing There should never ever be a masked police force in this country, it's disgusting Think about all the things we've written off in the past two years and faded from the news Like military helicopters landing on a city building and them blowing the doors off all the apartments dragging everyone from their apartments And all bets are off for the next two years, looks like Dems will get the Senate but even then they can't stop the scorched-earth that is coming

In a note with the files, the hackers wrote, “They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs.” I mean, they’re not wrong…

Can you search for agents near me?

What an interesting times, a hack the “exposes” people who are supposedly and should be publicly known to start with.

At this rate soon it's going to be very suspicious if someone is not part of any leak ; )

At first I hoped that fears about ICE abuses were overblown, but then I saw video after video of masked, badge-free agents manhandling and throwing grandmas and elderly/weak people to the ground and generally acting like thugs, stalking immigration courts for people trying to comply, doing nazi salutes, etc. It quickly became clear that ICE is largely made up of KKK or proud boy thugs who see it as a chance to brutalize a vulnerable population that they despise. Now that this data has been leaked, identities can be correlated with facial recognition, gait analysis, and other biometrics to conclusively identify the agents who committed crimes. Much of the video footage shows agents flagrantly breaking the law, abusing power, violating the rights of citizens and noncitizens alike. Now that his leak has occurred, criminal ICE agents will be brought to justice for many of the crimes committed already, and the data will also inform the prosecution of crimes they will likely commit during the rest of Trump's term in office. Many of the crimes are violations of state law, so there is nothing the executive branch can do to stop the prosecutions.

So cool, terrorist Karen can now easily email/LinkedIn/whatever escalate to a skip-level manager if an officer is misbehaving.

Whatever your feelings about ICE and this administration, there are probably some undercover folks in real danger at the moment. Probably doing some real work to stop some real abuses that you’d want them to stop. (Not saying all - but likely some / many to be in that program) So - while I might agree that secretive domestic organizations like MI5 should not exist and sunlight is good for government, I feel for the families of the folks that might catch a bullet because of this.

Awfully convenient happening days before the midterm elections. Is this the precursor to a declaration of emergency? Perhaps after an act violence that was enabled by the leak?

So who's going to cross-reference the list with the J6 peeps?

It'd be a shame if people started checking potential hires, tenants, dates, and business transactions against this info, cutting off ICE from large segments of the economy and society. I bet they'd feel really dehumanized.

This calls for the world’s tiniest violin.

I approve. The problem isn’t surveillance, the problem is that everybody doesn’t have access to the data :D
