Similarly, ICEList.info is designed to act as a type of wiki, collecting updates on ICE enforcement activity and listing detentions, arrests, and deportations. Individual agents are listed “where sufficient evidence exists” to link them to enforcement incidents, the About page states, and any attempts to post information that could be used to defraud agents violate site rules and are removed.
“Misrepresentations, harassment, or attempts to abuse the platform will be removed,” the about page says.
Dominic Skinner, who owns ICE List, told Wired that “he does not believe that what ICE List does is doxxing,” primarily because “ICE List does not post the home addresses of identified agents.”
In a press release, the DOJ said it considers doxxing to be the sharing of “the victim’s Social Security number, home address, home phone number, mobile phone number, and personal email address.” An incomplete ARS review spot examining 100 profiles of ICE agents on the ICE list showed only publicly posted professional contact information.
DOJ lacks doxxing evidence
The Trump administration has routinely relied on bare mentions of threats to pressure platforms to censor social media posts showing ICE activity or linking to sites like the ICE list, Freedom of Information Act lawsuits claim.
But there is a notable lack of arrests to support those claims.
As recently as January, the DOJ asserted that ICE officers were facing an 8,000 percent increase in death threats. But that press release did not specify where that figure came from.
Instead, the agency shared the transcript of a single voicemail left for an ICE officer in Minnesota on January 24. In this, the caller does not directly threaten violence, but tries to scare the officer by saying that they “hope” his wife and mother die and “everything that can go wrong in your life happens.” He tells the officer that he “hopes” the officer will “get hit by a bus” and be “paralyzed.” And they end by calling the officer a “traitor to the American people” and urging that the officer “kill himself.”
