A hacking group called "The Com" released personal information of hundreds of federal agents, including 680 DHS employees, 190 Justice Department officials, and 170 FBI employees[^1]. The hack revealed names, office locations, and home addresses of agents.

The incident occurs amid heightened tensions, with ICE claiming a dramatic rise in assaults against officers, though these statistics are disputed. Colorado Public Radio found only a 25% increase in assaults rather than the administration's claimed "1000% increase"[^9].

The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi Noem promised prosecutions against those who dox ICE agents in July 2025, but three months later no charges have been filed[^9]. This contrasts with California, where prosecutors have charged three activists for allegedly following and broadcasting an ICE agent's home address[^9].

The hack comes as the Trump administration has pushed tech companies to remove ICE-tracking apps, with both Meta and Apple recently complying with requests to take down such tools[^9].

Now cross-reference this list with known members of Proud Boys, Patriot Front, and other domestic terror orgs.

Maybe already members of the ICE agents.

I want to wish all ICE agents a very "I hope someone follows you home and punches you in the throat".

As seen, tracking and surveillance can work in both directions 😏

Referencing the original 404media article:

“I want my MONEY MEXICO,” a user of the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Telegram channel … posted on Thursday. The message was referencing a claim from the DHS that Mexican cartels have begun offering thousands of dollars for doxing agents. The U.S. government has not provided any evidence for this claim.

Lol. Rofl, even.
