Posters in Los Angeles Expose ICE Agents’ Personal Info
DHS: “These pathetic activists are putting targets on the backs of our law enforcement…”
Anti-ICE activists have taped posters around Los Angeles filled with personal details of ICE agents.
The signs say:
“CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES”
“These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers.”
“Possible execution/implementation measure/action 2/23/25”.
NEW: Per multiple federal law enforcement sources, anti ICE activists, which have been disrupting & live streaming ICE operations in the LA area in recent days, have now put up posters doxing SoCal ICE & HSI agents, revealing their faces, names, & phone numbers. I’m told ICE is… pic.twitter.com/DRxRRtsFSH

A DHS spokesperson told Fox News: “These pathetic activists are putting targets on the backs of our law enforcement as they shield MS-13, Tren De Aragua and other vicious gangs that traffic women and children, kidnap for ransom and poison Americans with lethal drugs. These individuals will be held accountable for obstructing the law and justice. This shouldn’t be controversial.”

Authorities have had problems conducting ICE raids due to leaks and warnings.
Earlier this month, ICE planned a major raid in Aurora, CO, to nab members of the Venezuela gang Tren de Aragua (TdA).
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed someone within the government leaked the raids to the media, allowing many of the illegal aliens to flee.
ICE expected over 100 arrests. They only arrested 30 people and one TdA member.
The FBI also told Fox News: “The FBI safeguards Constitutionally-protected rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. However, any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice.”

Enough of this crap. Let’s start tracking down these people aggressively.
They need to know that breaking the law has consequences … otherwise anarchy prevails.
Let’s start tracking down these people [AND THEIR ENABLERS] aggressively.
-FIFY
They have not broken any law. The posters are protected speech.
18 USC 119
(a) In General.—Whoever knowingly makes restricted personal information about a covered person, or a member of the immediate family of that covered person, publicly available—
(1) with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite the commission of a crime of violence against that covered person, or a member of the immediate family of that covered person; or
(2) with the intent and knowledge that the restricted personal information will be used to threaten, intimidate, or facilitate the commission of a crime of violence against that covered person, or a member of the immediate family of that covered person,
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
18 USC 119 refers only to witness/juror tampering.
If “covered person” includes ICE officers, or other federal employees outside the context of their involvement in a court case, then it’s unconstitutional as to them.
Sigh
(2) the term “covered person” means—
(A) an individual designated in section 1114;
Section 1114
(a) In General.—Whoever kills or attempts to kill any officer or employee of the United States or of any agency in any branch of the United States Government (including any member of the uniformed services) while such officer or employee is engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties, or any person assisting such an officer or employee in the performance of such duties or on account of that assistance, shall be punished—
But sure, you’re the constitutional scholar
Yes, I saw that. That’s why I said that if it’s meant to include them then it’s unconstitutional as applied to them. I don’t see how you can defend it, if it does cover them. How can you square it with the first amendment? Under what exception would it fall, outside the context of preventing juror/witness tampering?
There is a very simple way for you to prove you are correct. Obtain a copy of the poster. Notify the press in Los Angeles and the US Attorney. Placy the poster in public view. See what happens.
It is a wonderful opportunity to live what yuo preach.
Why would I want to do that? I wish ICE officers only well, why would I seek to harm them, legally or otherwise?
Good answer. Both of us agree that these acts were repugnant, morally wrong and disgraceful The perpetrators wrongfully jeopardized law enforcement operations and agents. You have posted enough here for everyone to see that you are a moral and ethical man who will posit “strawman arguments” much as a law professor would to stimulate vigorous discussion.
;I respectfully disagree with the notion that these acts constitute protected speech. I believe what these people did is unlawful and they should be punished.
You know what? Let’s arrest the leakers and take them to court and then let the court sort it out. If we are wrong, we’ll apologize.
If there are any leakers, you would have to catch them first. There’s no indication that any of this information was leaked. Activists could have seen ICE officers in action, photographed, and researched them.
But even if there are leakers, it’s well established that publishing illegally obtained information is protected. If someone presents you with information you can publish it and it doesn’t matter how many laws they broke to get it.
See the case of that couple who eavesdropped on Newt Gingrich’s conversation and gave the recording to be published. They got in trouble, but those they gave it to were protected.
Like clockwork.
Even to defending something as despicable as this.
Can we get at least 10% of the attention that Federal law enforcement paid to people who attended Jan 6 redirected to stopping this attempt to actually obstruct lawful federal immigration actions?
There are 5000 FBI agents no longer pissing time away chasing grannies for Jan 6 who could be going after this scum!
I doubt that those FBI agents will survive the Doge purge.
Hopefully, Mr Patel has a bad cop Purge and very soon. They’ll all be taken out by that
Sounds to me like some OPSEC needs to be instituted on these raids. There are ways to secure your operations and also identify the leakers.
The implication of these posters is to make the agents’ lives unsafe. But it doesn’t appear to cross into territory that would be illegal. At this point.
Memo for LA: When Homan is finished with Boston, he’ll also be coming to LA and bringing Hell with him. You’ve been warned.
Did he bring “hell” to Boston?
The Privacy Act of 1974 (and doubtlessly other Statutes) makes certain information confidential. Accessing that information for the purpose of publication would most likely be a criminal violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. There are also other criminal statutes such as Obstruction of Justice and possibly (if properly constructed) violation of Title 8, U.S.C. 1324(a).
Hopefully, whoever committed these acts will be prosecuted as vigorously as the people who pray in front of abortion clinics.
Depends where they got the information from. If they just photographed them on the street they have every right to do that.
Even if the information was originally obtained illegally, that’s on the people who obtained it. The people who made the posters are still engaged in protected speech.
Foolish.
I wonder how much the USAID grant paid the NGO for this garbage?
All of it
Activists? No, they are at least cartel sympathizers if not outright members. RICO them for all cartel activities.
It’s legal to sympathize with a cartel. And you can’t prove they’re members.
Aiding and abetting by unlawfully giving personal information
18 USC 119
As rbj1 points out 8 U.S. Code § 119 (along with 18 U.S. Code § 371 ) are likely applicable to the facts of this case. Restricted information was presumptively obtained through the misuse of government computers either by government employees or outside hackers. The restricted information was then passed on to parties who knowingly published that information with the intent of intimidating Federal Officers and help aliens evade lawful arrest.
If conspirators are identified it is highly unlikely that United States Attorney General Pam Bondi will agree with the statement: . “They have not broken any law.” . Her vote is the one that matters her, not yours or mine.
The statement “The posters are protected speech.” is not meritless.. However, knowingly disseminating posters that contain restricted information for the purpose of intimidation and evasion of lawful arrest is a Federal Felony which does not implicate the First Amendment.
Under which exception to the freedom of speech do you contend it falls?
Threats are not constitutionally protected. And that doesn’t s what these poster are. Given the heated rhetoric and the carrying out of lawful raids, imminent is a real possibility.
As suffered by Trump and the Jan 6th’s, the doxers can be caught and prosecuted regardless. “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”
We need to wise up. We are at war.
Foreign invaders are the enemy.
Hint: They carry a foreign flag, speak a foreign language and owe their loyalty to another country.
And people like these disruptors, streamers and doxxers are traitors. But we as a society are too wimpy to do justice. Expect more.
Those responsible for the posters should be tried for treason, and punished appropriately if found guilty.
we, as a society today, are far too wimpy to dole out appropriate punishment for treasonous acts; people under sentence of death are far more likely to die of old age while protesters, having no idea of the crime(s) committed, will stand outside the prisons with their signs
– and then you have the mentally deficient as executive officers who will pardon all acts
The posters are protected speech. If you prosecute the people who put them up, you are the “traitor”.
But even if they weren’t protected, they still wouldn’t be treason.
you misread my entire comment, but you had to get in the nastiness;
and you wonder why you get so many negative votes – or maybe you don’t
Your comment?! What has your comment got to do with it? I did not reply to your comment.
Chris Peters wrote that “Those responsible for the posters should be tried for treason”. Even if the posters were not protected speech, trying them for treason would be against the constitution.
Gun controllers join ATF
Greenies join EPA
Cartels join law enforcement
Illegal alien proponents join ICE
I hope ICE figures out who is doing lhis… Musk and Co can sleuth computer use.
What’s that old joke – – The beatings will continue until morale improves?
Well the serious take on that with respect to this post is that misbehavior will continue until (#1) the perps are identified and (#2) the perps are severely punished for their crimes. With no deterrence, this behavior will continue.
I’m tired of this merde; I’m even more tide of watching them get away with it scot-free time-and-time again.
I think that the worst perps need to be taken care of resisting arrest, for example MS 13. Those who are clearly identified deserve intense encounters.
ICE should run a counter-operation, in which they post bogus photos of ICE “agents” and telling horror stories of illegals in ICE custody, with accusations of torture, etc. Just frighten the illegals out of the country and dilute the impact of the doxing.
I didn’t see the ‘union bug’ on those flyers. What’s the world coming to when leftist wokiestas refuse to support unionized print shops?
and yet no one outs the under 18 violent criminals that the schools>>judges etc coddle so that they may do more harm to people
Who is paying for this? My guess it’s Soros backed.
Violation of TITLE 8
How so? And even if you can find a violation, how do you get past the first amendment?
The same way NY does with the 2A. Just demand the same deference to these policies as NY gets until eventually SCOTUS makes a ruling, then just like NY be standing by with new slightly different policies that accomplish the same ends which SCOTUS hasn’t ruled upon and start the multiyear clock allowing enforcement until a ruling.
