United StatesJudge Robert Payne of the Eastern District of Virginia issued conclusions in the case U.S. v. Virginia regarding the risks faced by ICE officers due to doxxing activities. The report highlights that increased enforcement efforts have led to targeted harassment and retaliation against ICE personnel. According to affidavits from Eric S. Weiss, Deputy Field Office Director at DHS, individuals often photograph and publicly share ICE officers’ identities online, using this information to intimidate and harass them. This practice, known as 'doxxing,' is linked to organized crime and transnational criminal organizations, which have established bounties for violent acts against ICE and CBP personnel.

Additionally, anti-ICE activists use facial recognition technology to identify officers and share their locations, leading to further harassment and threats.
