A Facebook group used to track and share personal details of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago has been removed following a request from the U.S. Department of Justice. The page reportedly facilitated doxxing and harassment of federal law-enforcement personnel, violating the platform’s “coordinated harm” policy. While the move rightly protects ICE agents from targeted threats, it also underscores a troubling reality: which is how social media is increasingly weaponized against those enforcing the law. Doxxing and intimidation aren’t free speech; they’re acts of coercion meant to harm and silence opponents Protecting public servants from such dangers isn’t just prudent—it’s essential to maintaining order and respect for those who risk their lives to uphold the rule of law.
