“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people," Dominick Skinner, ICE list founder, told The Beast.

Information included in the new leak includes around "1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS," according to The Beast.

Nice, let's dox them all, names of their family members, kids schools, SS#.

You know all the stuff THEY already have on us and are using it to kill us. No legal protections for criminals.

It's ok to Dox a Nazi.

[–] minticecream@lemmy.world 161 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Shouldn’t law enforcement information be public anyway? I didn’t know there were secret police in America.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 133 points 1 week ago

I didn’t know there were secret police in America.

The masks and complete refusal to identify themselves didn't give that away?

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 71 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

ICE isn't law enforcement, they don't have the legal rights to enforce laws.

Being an illegal immigrant is also not a crime, is a civil offense. Their law given abilities stop there.

Essentially everything they are doing right now is blatantly illegal. It's no different than an armed milita in that sense.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

And they are not well regulated, so no guns for them.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's not usually prosecuted as such, but unlawful entry to the country is a federal crime.

Not that it justifies what ICE is doing or their existence in the first place.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Even as law enforcement, they have a level of rights to privacy, just like the rest of us. That is why badge numbers are used. They unambiguously identify them, without also spreading who their siblings are, and where their children go to school.

The lack of ANY identifying features for ICE "agents" is VERY telling.

[–] smh@slrpnk.net 37 points 1 week ago

I'm a public (state) employee. My name, title, and salary are posted publicly. I don't see why ICE agents shouldn't enjoy that same level of transparency.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They do not have a right to privacy while they are on duty.

And there is no "right to privacy" in the USA for anyone.

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

On paper, there is a right to privacy in the US in places where a reasonable person would have an expectation to privacy, which is codified into law.

The only place where everyone has an expectation to privacy (barring exigent circumstances) is bathrooms (porta-potties included), changing rooms, locker rooms, or anywhere else where people are expected to use the bathroom or change clothes.

There is an expectation to privacy for individuals on their own private property. I can spy on you in my house, but you can't spy on me in my house (peeping through someone's windows is a crime but me having a hidden camera in my living room is not).

However, when it comes to public officials conducting duties of their office, there is no expectation of privacy, even on their private property (though, due to the conflict of interest, this is unlikely to happen).

The only place where no one has any expectation to privacy is public property (like a park, post office, library, city bus, etc.) and private property which is open to the public (most businesses, malls, etc.).

In practice, you can't fart or jerk off without a corporation knowing about it.

I make sure they know about it!

i'm unfamiliar with this

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

F*** that. I'm a professor to public institution. My name salary and virtually everything else has to be public information.

These assholes should be required to be a lot more transparent than I am. I don't get to beat anybody and ship them off to a third world hellhole prison.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a major one for transparency. I will accept that a police or justice officer doing their job properly and reasonably, can still make enemies. A certain level of information security, of their private lives, is then reasonable to keep them and their families safe.

Their job life should be documented well however. If their body cam is not working, it should be assumed to hide something, until proven otherwise.

I also don't see the US's ICE as police or justice. They have shown none of the restraint and control expected of the role. They are armed thugs, with a powerful backer, and should be treated as such.

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you're 100% off base. We need as much transparency as humanly possible. You only see ice as a problem because it's a problem for you.

I know what a lot of black folks that are terrified of getting stopped by the police under any circumstances. Your categorizing them differently and for good reason but it's wildly misguided.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

FYI, I'm not American, I'm watching from the outside.

The UK police, while they have their issues, are a lot better than American police. A lot of them also love the bodycams. They make their job a LOT easier, with far less hassle.

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Our police are considerably more dangerous than yours. And all they have to do is turn off their body cams.

Unfortunately we live in completely different realities. I believe your cops are actually trained.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mainly meant it as a goal to aim for. Police don't have to be brutish idiots.

Our police use a "police by consent" mindset, rather than a "police by force" one. Most don't even carry guns.

It certainly is, but it's not the reality we live in currently. And there are so many boot lickers that we may never get there. Anytime you say something about military spending or police spending they just seem to ratchet it up in response.

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

It is public. To get around that, they pay Flock (or some similar company) to spy on us instead, then use our tax dollars to buy our data from those companies, then deny FOIA requests for our own data under the reasoning that it's their property since they bought it, and you can only FOIA records they collect, not property they purchase.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

they were suppose to, but they made them not to carry thier IDs with them, and probably obfuscating the hiring process too. since they pratically hire anyone.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

I personally believe that the kids should be left out of whatever repercussions their parents bring on since they themselves didn't get to choose their spawn point.

But any significant others of these ICE thugs should 100% have divorced their asses and rescinded access to their kids. Maybe should have even gotten restraining orders.

If not, they're complicit too.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

It would be a shame if they were swatted. That sort of thing can cause serious trauma.

[–] MortUS@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what they're hoping, and some radical targets them so they can shift blame.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As long as we don’t give them that opportunity then they won’t shift blame or spill blood egregiously, right? So let’s just never fight back and things will inevitably get better, right? They would never escalate without the left giving them reason to, right?

Fuck off with this.

[–] MortUS@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, remember when Luigi really changed the world? No? How about Tyler Robinson?

Mass civil unrest is the only way.

If they are able to spin ICE assassins, they just as well could be able to drum up more support than civil unrest can match. They're already having a difficult time finding and retaining their coalition. We know they're going to decry the midterms. It is a war of attrition right now, and doxing ICE is just bait.

Solid logic, I can't argue with that.
