I don't think the site is but the people who own it are.

I can't find any evidence of that at all, but even if it is true, that still wouldn't mean federating Bluesky has anything to do with a high demand to talk with ICE supporters.

Today (a couple of days after your post), ICE now has a verified account on Bluesky.

Like the other US gov accounts that are on Bluesky, it sucks that they're their and get verified, but Bluesky is a US based company. If they refused to verify or outright banned those accounts, I think its really likely they'd face legal threats from the Trump regime, similar to CBS. I dont think those threats would be valid, but that lately our courts do not care.

ICE is already the third most blocked account, with nearly 100k blocks and only 330 followers, the majority of which seem to be following so they can ratio them in the replies whenever they decide to post. I think this kinda supports my point that federating with Bluesky is definitely not going to be flooding us with pro ICE users.

Thanks to moderation lists they were blocked by a massive amount of users they even knew they had made an account, essentially leaving them with just a void to post into.

also, one of the people on the team infamously went against a woman talking about her husband being ICED. if you search around it's fairly easy to find.
