BREAKING: A cyberattack on the ICE List website is blocking access to it.
A website dedicated to naming ICE and Border Patrol employees is coming under a “prolonged and sophisticated” cyber attack after the Daily Beast revealed it planned to make public 4,500 names of federal immigration staff.
The founder of ICE List said the website was overwhelmed by malicious web traffic originating in Russia after the Beast reported that a huge cache of personal IDs had been leaked to the site by an alleged Department of Homeland Security whistleblower.

People were reporting in comments they were having trouble accessing the site. I saw the cyberattack news first from an Occupy Democrats post on Facebook. This is the first news report I could find.
The regular media seems slow to pick up on this whole story.
From the Daily Beast
Sensitive details of around 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees—including almost 2,000 agents working in frontline enforcement—have allegedly been released by a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower following last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The Jan. 7 killing of the mother by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked nationwide protests and worldwide outrage, including among some DHS employees.
The alleged leak to ICE List, a self-styled “accountability initiative,” is believed to be the largest ever breach of DHS staff data. It appears to include names, work emails, telephone numbers, roles, and some resumé data, including previous jobs of federal immigration staff.
There’s more at the link, including how ICE List plans to release the newly received information. It appears they are going to be judiciously selective.
Department of Homeland Security officials are not happy.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Beast that its “law enforcement officers are on the frontlines arresting terrorists, gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists,” but that “thanks to the malicious rhetoric of sanctuary politicians, they are under constant threat from violent agitators.”
She added: “Publicizing their identities puts their lives and the lives of their families at serious risk.”
Given past behavior by the Trump regime, the reaction to this is likely going to be doubling and tripling down. That would be understandable — because resistance is starting to come together and it’s making them anxious.
The murder of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross and the regime’s actions to try to stonewall accountability has been something that is finally making clear to people how lawless they are.
If ICE thugs are now living in fear of violence, perhaps they should have considered that before destroying the rule of law. What goes around comes around.
It may be a bit late, but the news lately is starting to bring the words “turning point” to mind.
Fingers crossed.
