A whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security is accused of leaking personal and professional information on approximately 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees to a public online database, escalating tensions in the aftermath of a controversial shooting that has sparked nationwide debate.
The breach reportedly occurred amid public outcry over the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. The leaked data was shared with ICE List, a website that describes itself as an “accountability initiative” tracking federal immigration personnel.
According to RAW STORY, the dataset includes names, work emails, phone numbers, job roles, and other employment details for frontline agents and support staff—a level of detail that has alarmed officials concerned about the safety and privacy of federal employees and their families.
What the Alleged Leak Involves
The whistleblower’s data contribution significantly expanded what ICE List already held. Before the leak, the database reportedly contained thousands of identities gathered over time, but the recent addition brought the total to around 4,500 personnel linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
Of those exposed, roughly 1,800 are believed to be frontline agents, with others serving in supervisory or support roles. ICE List founder Dominick Skinner told media outlets that the recent outrage stemming from the Good shooting was a catalyst for the whistleblower’s decision to release the data, describing it as a sign of deep dissatisfaction within parts of the federal workforce.
The platform’s expanded records have drawn contributors reporting encounters with DHS personnel, from hotel staff to neighbors, leading to continual growth in submitted identities.
