The Big Story

Facebook takes down page targeting ICE agents

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday that Facebook has removed a page used to “dox and target” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago after the Justice Department reached out to the social media platform.

“The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs,” Bondi wrote in a post on X.

“The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement,” she added.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said in a statement that the group was removed for “violating our policies against coordinated harm.”

Chicago is the latest U.S. city to see an influx of ICE agents, as President Trump ramps up immigration enforcement across the country.

He took aim at the Windy City in early September and has since sought to send in members of the Illinois and Texas National Guards. These efforts have encountered legal hurdles.

Earlier this month, Apple removed ICEBlock, an app that allows users to track and report the location of ICE officers, from its app store citing safety risks.

Bondi said the DOJ reached out to Apple to seek the app’s removal.

“ICEBlock is designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs, and violence against law enforcement is an intolerable red line that cannot be crossed,” she said at the time.
