DHS Insider BETRAYS 4,500 Border Agents – Death Threats Mount

Magnifying glass showing Homeland Security website.

A DHS whistleblower just handed over the personal details of 4,500 federal immigration agents to activists operating a public doxxing website—and this breach exposes far more than data security failures.

The Whistleblower’s Calculated Strike

The anonymous DHS employee didn’t just leak random files—they strategically targeted frontline enforcement personnel. The whistleblower provided detailed dossiers on approximately 2,000 frontline agents and 2,500 supporting staff members, including work emails, telephone numbers, roles, and complete employment histories. This wasn’t a hack or external breach; this was an inside job executed by someone with authorized access to sensitive government databases.

Dominick Skinner, the Irish national running ICE List from his base in the Netherlands, received this intelligence goldmine following the fatal shooting of Renee Good. According to Skinner, the shooting served as a catalyst that pushed the whistleblower over the edge. The timing suggests this leak was emotional retaliation rather than calculated whistleblowing—a dangerous distinction that puts innocent agents at risk.

ICE List: The Doxxing Machine Powered by AI

Skinner operates his platform with just three people and artificial intelligence systems designed to verify agent identities before publication. Since launching in June 2025, ICE List accumulated information on approximately 10,000 individuals connected to immigration enforcement. The website received one million views by October 2025, demonstrating the appetite for this controversial content among anti-ICE activists.

The platform makes tactical exceptions on a “case-by-case basis” for certain positions, specifically mentioning childcare workers and nurses within the agency. This selective approach reveals the calculated nature of the operation—targeting enforcement personnel while protecting support staff deemed more sympathetic. Skinner’s operation represents a new breed of activism that weaponizes personal information against federal law enforcement.

The Security Crisis Behind Closed Doors

Secretary Kristi Noem and Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin have documented alarming statistics that reveal the human cost of these doxxing campaigns. ICE agents experienced an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,347% increase in physical assaults. These aren’t abstract policy debates—these are real threats against federal employees and their families who are simply doing their jobs.

The leak exposes operational vulnerabilities that extend beyond individual agent safety. Work emails and telephone numbers now circulate publicly, compromising ongoing investigations and enforcement operations. The breach also signals significant internal dissent within DHS, suggesting morale problems that could affect recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. When federal employees become security risks to their own agencies, the entire immigration enforcement system faces existential threats.

Legislative Response and Legal Implications

Representative Marsha Blackburn introduced the Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act in direct response to websites like ICE List. The legislation would criminalize the publication of federal agent identifying information, creating legal consequences for both platforms and individuals who facilitate these operations. However, Skinner’s overseas location complicates enforcement efforts and highlights jurisdictional challenges in combating digital-age threats.

The Trump administration faces a critical test in protecting its immigration enforcement personnel while maintaining operational effectiveness. DHS contacted for comment has remained silent, potentially indicating ongoing criminal investigations or legal proceedings. The absence of official government response suggests this breach caught leadership off-guard and exposed serious gaps in internal security protocols designed to protect classified personnel information.
