ICE's Internal Watchdog Investigates Public Critics Amid Doxing Claims

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) internal oversight body, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), has initiated more than 100 investigations into individuals who publicly criticize the agency. As reported by Wired, these inquiries are primarily focused on what ICE officials describe as “incidents of doxing and threats” targeting the organization's employees. This substantial investigative activity by OPR underscores a heightened internal effort by ICE to address what it perceives as security concerns and harassment directed at its workforce. Doxing typically refers to the public dissemination of private identifying information about an individual or organization online without consent, often with the potential for malicious use, including harassment or threats. By categorizing these incidents under "doxing and threats," ICE indicates a serious institutional response to alleged actions by the public.
