A DHS whistleblower has allegedly leaked personal data on 4,500 federal immigration enforcement agents to a public website designed to identify and expose ICE and Border Patrol personnel.

DHS insider provided names, emails, phone numbers, and employment histories to ICE List website
Fatal shooting of DHS employee Renee Good allegedly triggered the massive data leak
Website now contains information on approximately 10,000 federal immigration agents total
ICE agents already face 8,000% increase in death threats according to DHS leadership

The Whistleblower’s Digital Betrayal

An anonymous Department of Homeland Security employee crossed a dangerous line when they handed over sensitive personal information on approximately 4,500 federal agents to Dominick Skinner, founder of ICE List. The leaked data includes names, work emails, telephone numbers, job roles, and detailed résumé information including previous employment history. This represents one of the largest breaches of federal law enforcement personnel data in recent memory.

Skinner, an Irish national operating from the Netherlands, runs ICE List with a team of three people who use artificial intelligence to verify the identities of listed federal agents. The platform launched in June 2025 during heightened Trump administration immigration enforcement operations and initially contained information on about 2,000 agents.

A Fatal Shooting Becomes the Breaking Point

The whistleblower’s decision to leak the massive trove of data allegedly came after the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a DHS employee. Skinner characterized this incident as “the last straw for many people” within the government, suggesting widespread internal dissent regarding immigration enforcement policies. The timing indicates the leak was motivated by ideological opposition rather than financial gain.

This internal betrayal highlights serious vulnerabilities in federal government data security systems. The whistleblower apparently had access to comprehensive personnel databases containing sensitive information on thousands of agents. The ease with which this data was extracted and transferred to an external activist raises alarming questions about insider threat protocols within DHS.

Agents Face Escalating Threats

Secretary Kristi Noem and Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin have warned against anti-ICE protesters sharing personal information of federal agents, citing an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,347% increase in assaults against ICE personnel. The data leak potentially amplifies these dangers by providing activists with detailed contact information and employment histories of individual agents.

The leaked information compromises operational security by making work emails, telephone numbers, and role descriptions publicly accessible. This exposure could undermine ongoing investigations and enforcement operations while putting agents and their families at personal risk. The platform’s use of AI to verify identities suggests a systematic approach to cataloging federal personnel rather than random data dumping.

Legislative Response and Legal Implications

Representative Marsha Blackburn introduced the Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act in direct response to websites publishing federal agent identities. This legislation reflects growing congressional concern about the systematic targeting of law enforcement personnel through public identification campaigns. The bill would establish criminal penalties for platforms that publish personal information of federal agents with intent to harass or intimidate.

Skinner told the Daily Beast that ICE List will make exceptions for certain positions on a case-by-case basis, specifically mentioning childcare workers and nurses within the agency. However, this selective approach still leaves thousands of frontline enforcement agents exposed to potential harassment, threats, or worse. The platform’s continued operation despite legal threats demonstrates the challenges authorities face in shutting down foreign-hosted websites targeting American law enforcement.
