Meta blocks links to ICE List: Website that exposes DHS employees

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instgram and Threads, started blocking users from posting links to the ICE List.

ICE List is a website that compiled names of what it claims to be Department of Homeland Security employees. Earlier this month, the site went viral for sharing the first and last names of ICE and Border Patrol agents, as well as DHS employees who are enforcing the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. The website contains a list of close to 4,500 federal agents and employees.

“I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity,” Dominick Skinner, the creator of ICE List, told Wired.

Skinner told Wired that sharing the ICE List on Meta platforms became a problem beginning on Monday night. A spokesperson for Meta pointed to the company's policy for sharing personally identifiable information when sharing the list on their platforms.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin have warned against the doxxing of ICE agents.

"The disgusting doxxing of our officers put their lives and their families in serious danger. Our law enforcement officers are on the frontlines arresting terrorists, gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists. Now, thanks to the malicious rhetoric of sanctuary politicians, they are under constant threat from violent agitators," McLaughlin said in a statement to The National News Desk.
