WASHINGTON — The founder of a website that publishes the names of ICE and Border Patrol agents said a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower provided personal information for thousands of federal agents and employees, the National News Desk reported.
Dominick Skinner, who runs ICE List, told the Daily Beast that a DHS employee shared information on about 4,500 people, including roughly 2,000 frontline immigration enforcement agents and about 2,500 employees in support roles. Skinner, who lives in the Netherlands and is not a U.S. citizen, said the disclosure followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an immigration enforcement incident in Minneapolis.

ICE List launched in June of 2025 during an expansion of federal immigration enforcement. Skinner previously told El Pais that the site is run by three people and uses artificial intelligence to help verify identities. He said the website received about 1 million views in October.
Federal officials and lawmakers have warned that publishing personal information of law enforcement officers puts them and their families at risk. Legislation aimed at limiting the practice was introduced last year.

DHS leaders have said immigration officers have faced sharp increases in threats and assaults amid heightened tensions over enforcement. In a statement, a DHS spokesperson said doxxing law enforcement officers endangers lives and vowed that those responsible would be prosecuted.
Skinner told the Daily Beast that he plans to publish “the majority” of names the ICE List is able to verify, but noted they will “make exceptions on a case-by-case” level.
The department has not confirmed the alleged data leak and has not commented on whether an internal investigation is underway.
