“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.
Shouldn’t law enforcement information be public anyway? I didn’t know there were secret police in America.
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.
And they are not well regulated, so no guns for them.
The masks and complete refusal to identify themselves didn’t give that away?
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.
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.
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.
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!

Basic records of public employment in government are not invasions of privacy. FOIA applies.
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.
