Bondi says Facebook has removed page targeting ICE agents after DOJ outreach
The Department of Justice pressured Facebook to remove the ICE Sightings Chicagoland group with over 90,000 followers, citing concerns over revealing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Department of Justice outreach prompted Facebook to remove a group allegedly used to dox and target ICE agents in the Chicago area.
- After earlier removals, Bondi pressured Apple to take down the ICEBlock app weeks ago amid the Trump administration's claim that sharing ICE sightings is illegal 'doxing'.
- Bondi wrote that "Today following outreach from the Justice Department, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target ICE agents in Chicago," and a Meta spokesperson said it violated policies against coordinated harm and outing undercover personnel.
- Legal experts countered that First Amendment protections cover ICE sightings discussion, while NPR reporting found no public evidence proving a spike in attacks cited by officials.
- Bondi vowed that the DOJ will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
