AN UNPRECEDENTED LEAK of Department of Homeland Security records has exposed details of more than 41,000 employees or contractors who work for the department and its constituent agencies. The records include email addresses, phone numbers, and office addresses, but also references to internal systems and sensitive information on undercover and surveillance programs. In all, the leak provides a map of how DHS is organized and how it operates.

The records, which span DHS itself as well as seven component agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs and Border Protection, were last updated on August 19, 2026. The transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets and cybersecurity researcher and journalist maia arson crimew previewed the data to WIRED, which they say they obtained from a group calling itself the Department of Peace.

    It’s back up at https://icepicx.is/

    Main HUB: https://ddosecrets.org/article/icepick

    Already torrenting it. I am going to mass-email every single ICE agent telling them that the Mexican Cartel has them and their families on their sights. I will use my real email because I don’t give a fuck anymore. I am from Mexico and my family is big and connected, they will think it’s real after they see who they are.

    If you do download the database, the one that weights 50MB or so, and has the different folders of each agency, you can run a command like this one to extract all the emails only. There might be a better version of this command, I am a noob with terminal commands, I only see 4,089 emails out of the 6,000 ICE agents listed, not sure if that’s ok, if some of them didn’t have any, or if the command needs polishing:

    jq -r '.profile_properties.email // empty' ice/* > emails.txt

    Just change the “ice/*” folder’s name with the agency you want.

    Do not forget that all email services have a daily limit of emails you can send before getting flagged as spam or such. I think Outlook and Gmail are the most generous, but I don’t know if there is a better alternative. I think the cap for free accounts is around 300 emails a day, so, I don’t know, I will try with 250 a day to be safe. Maybe less, like 90.

    Never forget these people feel good when they terrorize us and even kill us. They openly ruin innocent people’s lives, permanently-traumatizing them. We can play the same game. Drive them to isolation and paranoia. Hopefully they commit suicide and leave good innocent people alone in peace. That’d be justice. They do the same to us after all. You just never hear about those who died to poverty or suicide, they are never mentioned in the TV or newspaper. They are killing us in silence.

        I don’t think it’s evil. I think it is what all the innocent victims of these racist people, all the 30,000+ Mexicans we lose in my country every year due to the Iron River, the 200,000+ firearms the USA sells to the cartels every year and so on (which pour down to South America too, and also the Middle East and Africa, so, really, we are talking about millions of permanently-traumatized families, depressed and destroyed over the past decades), probably wished they could communicate to them one last time before they were permanently silenced in the name of blood money.

        I just want to let them know we will never forget nor forgive all those innocent lives they killed with their relentless discrimination.

    DDoSecrets published the archive, which it calls “Icepick,” on Wednesday. In a press release, DDoSecrets says the data is from DHS’s Okta login system. In a note with the files, the hackers wrote, “They have our information, so it’s only fair that we have theirs.”

    It seems to me that ICE would be far better off conducting its business in such a way as to not be worried about being publicly identifiable. Regular police officers are able to do their duties without masks and with the requirement to display their badges, and I dare ICE to claim that regular police don’t do work as dangerous as ICE.

    Obviously undercover work is the exception, but when the entirety of ICE goes around masked, they’d be fools not to expect an overcorrection.

        Which makes it all the more crazy that ICE feels that it needs additional unaccountability beyond what already covers cops for so much.

          It’s because they know they’re an authoritarian paramilitary group and they are doing things that they could personally be tried for treason if their side ends up losing, like they always do eventually.

          They don’t want to be personally identifiable if possible, because at any point someone could decide to Kirk them when they’re not in their goon squad at work.

        Just heard a report that said essentially there are more local law enforcement doing the job than actual ICE agents.

          maybe we should treat locals like ice not the other way around? also, don’t call them local. they don’t live in the places where they enforce. say municipal.

      Oh I can literally guarantee what ICE agents do isn’t nearly as dangerous as what regular cops do. The only real danger ICE faces is self-induced by wearing masks to remain unidentifiable while they terrorize American citizens. Their jobs would be even safer than they already are if they weren’t acting as a rapist’s gestapo.

        ICE isn’t just supposed to be Nazi gestapo rounding up people the President is tarelgeting as a political distraction.

        There is a place for undercover investigations of smuggling and human trafficking rings.

          Yeah, and ICE isn’t that place. ICE was created in the after math of 9/11 as a way to address the “terrorism” threat. It has failed spectacularly at the actual job they were created to address.

            No disagreement that they’ve failed in their mission and have become a tool of fascism, but conceptually there’s a place for an investigative law enforcement agency specializing in immigration and customs. Having undercover assets investigating human trafficking and smuggling would be appropriate as a part of that agency’s activities.

            It should still be abolished, of course. ICE is irredeemable at this point.

              We have the CIA, FBI, NSA, and a number of other three letter agencies that can do that. ICE has no need to exist, and we did just fine before it was created.

    You can also go to

    https://www.clearancejobs.com/

    (You probably wanna have DoH enabled and HTTPS Always configured on your browser, uBlock, bare minimum)

    FIlter security clearance by DHS, and just look at all the contracted companies that are currently hiring.

    Tech backend, network admin, db admin, data analyst, cybersec type stuff…

    But also HVAC, and ‘Social Worker - Relocation/Custody’.

    Thats most of what I’m seeing in terms of job titles, but yeah if you want a current list of ICEstapo subcontractor companies, well there ya go!

    Not as pinpoint accurate but also just literally publically available information.

        no. no, they deserve no mercy. they benefitted from schutzstaffel family. they sowed the wind. now they must be seen to reap, so that next time these guys get killed by family members who want to stay safe.

        we should not terminate our thoughts like fascists. we should not simplify complex issues like fascists. we should not revel in atrocities like fascists. we should not be afraid to be cruel or nasty because fascists are cruel and nasty. that’s part of their game-accuse us of what they are going yo do, so we cannot discuss their offenses without sounding like them. your high school bully did this. we should do to them what they accuse us of. we should do what they’re afraid of, just to scare them. fascists are responsive to fear and violence. its what defines them fear and violence, terror, are necessary tools in putting them down. they must be torn out at the root, social and structural both. you remember how much of a fit they threw after the ‘if you are reading this you’re gay’ bullet struck home? they can’t handle violence directed at them, and it needs to be. Every kind of violence, physical rhetorical and structural.

        the identities they champion must end. theu want a ‘future for white children’?fuck it, lets do a nonviolent white genocide ’kill the cracker save the man’. I’ll start with myself, because I think it would piss a Nazi off.

        or they will come back. my great great great grandmother hid family jewels, the fruits of generations of slaver exploitation, from union soldiers by burying them in sugar and surrounding herself with children, then appealing to their common humanity, saying ‘you wouldn’t take the last bit of sugar from children, would you?’. they kept their land too. the KKK and the daughters of the confederacy brought the white supremacist slave regime regime back after barely twenty years, the Confederate states of america despite never having won a war is the largest empire the world has ever seen today. their families must be punished too, or we will never reclaim the world from them. I’m not sure they all need to be killed, but they must be branded humiliated and dispossessed. their names must become curses.

        the Hitler family ended, nazism became slander, but many Nazis and fascist militants were allowed to live and supported throughout Europe, including the wretched sow birthed of Mussolini’s cum. Europe is going fascist again. but rommel didn’t start an exploiters school after the war, he fucking killed himself. so it took time.

        they care about family. they organize society around their families. their families if not the institution of the nuclear family itself must end as punishment, or this will reoccur. again. maybe one more time after that. I would say endlessly, but the species will be extinct before too long if we don’t get our shit together.

        now if you’ll excuse me: I need to take a big steaming Davis, but then my tummy feels a little queasy so I might be spraying Hitler all over the bowl instead. we’ll see.

        It is an amazing portrait of a horrible horrible person.

        The specific reason that I have it as my avatar relates to some unfunny moderators on one of the communities here. There was a rinehart story, and I was being cheeky by requesting a good portrait, so I could put a face to the name. Someone posted the portrait, and the moderators pulled it.

        My mature response was to use the portrait as my avatar, and to ensure that I comment on that community every now and then, to make sure that the portrait gets seen all the fucking time.

        I’m not even Australian.
