A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.The killing of 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross last...

“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people," Dominick Skinner, ICE list founder, told The Beast.

Information included in the new leak includes around “1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS,” according to The Beast.

      Yes and no.

      Yes, there is a lot of value to staying in The System and trying to break it from within.

      But when your day to day duties are to abduct and murder people? Yeah, I am sure John Smith is gonna LOVE that you were a rascal and actually put him in the system as “Johm Snith” so that his lawyers have good cause to declare the arrest void. Except… he has no lawyers because John got executed last week. And now nobody will ever find out which ditch his corpse might be in.

      And that is the problem when you get to these paramilitary orgs. Mad props to the whistleblower for acting now. How many people did they hurt along the way? And how effective will this even be when the christofacists still rule this country?

      To be clear. If there is absolutely nothing else you can do, then yeah, resist through weaponized incompetence and all that. But… just understand that you might be rightfully tried as a collaborator regardless of how slow you were at changing those tires.
