WIRED reviewed individuals’ pages that were included in the “Agents” category on ICE List as of January 22. Of the 1,580 pages, nearly 90 percent mention LinkedIn as a source. Other pages cite OpenPayrolls, a searchable database of public employees’ salaries, and SignalHire, a data broker.

ICE List doesn’t post the home addresses of identified agents, and says on its About page that “false submissions, harassment, or attempts to misuse the platform will be removed.”

“If this were doxing, then we dox ourselves by simply being present in online environments,” ICE List's owner says.

ICE List operates as a crowdsourced wiki maintained by volunteers, who have discretion over who is added and what is marked as “verified.” Not everyone on the list is an ICE employee or even affiliated with a federal agency.

The ICE List website that went viral last week for listing information about thousands of ICE agents actually relies heavily on info that apparent DHS employees have posted publicly themselves to places like LinkedIn—even as Kristi Noem threatens to treat revealing agents' identities as a crime.
