From Newsgroup: alt.law-enforcement

(NewsNation) rCo Two Oregon-based organizations that the Department of Homeland Security says are reportedly affiliated with Antifa are being targeted for making private information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers public, NewsNation has learned.

The agency said that the two Portland groups, identified as rCLRose City Counter InforCY and rCLThe Crustian Daily,rCY are publishing the names, photos and addresses of ICE officers on their website and social media
platforms. DHS officials said that the two groups are among multiple organizations that appear to be responsible for publishing private
information and the identities of immigration agents and officers and
posting them at locations around Portland.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Friday that these efforts, called doxing,
put law enforcement officers rCLin grave dangerrCY and potentially give
other international criminal organizations, such as Tren de Aragua and
MS-13, access to federal immigration officers and their families.

NoemrCOs warning comes as the agency has said that attacks on federal immigration officers and agents have increased significantly in recent
months. NewsNation has confirmed that DHS is reporting a nearly 700%
increase in attacks on ICE officers. The agency has repeatedly reported
large increases in attacks on federal officers, but does not publish
hard data.

Fox News reported that between January and June 2024, 10 assaults and
attacks took place on ICE officers, but that the number has increased to
69 incidents during the same time frame this year.

The agency has not specified what it considers an assault on federal
officers and agents. But in a statement issued on Friday, Noem said that
DHS will go after groups that are found to share sensitive information
about ICE officers publicly.

rCLWe will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law,rCY Noem said. rCLThese criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers. We wonrCOt allow it in America.rCY

NoemrCOs warning came after DHS officials reported that two federal immigration officers were injured over the July 4 weekend in Texas when
gunmen reportedly fired at the officers in two different incidents.

Who are the Portland groups DHS has identified?
ICERose City Counter-Info characterizes itself as a rCLcounter-inforCY
project and a platform for information to be highlighted to rCLanarchists
and radicalsrCY in Portland and the greater Portland area.

A review of the website by NewsNation showed that the group had
published photos and believed mailing addresses of ICE officers on a
page that included a bolded headline, rCLNo Peace For ICE Agents.rCY The
page called for solidarity with the rCLuprisingrCY that is taking place in
Los Angeles involving anti-ICE protests. It also published a message of
rCLNo borders, no nations and no deportations.rCY

The Crustian Daily website is inactive, but the grouprCOs Instagram
account includes a how-to page on publicly identifying ICE officers that included requests for publishing the LinkedIn profiles and current
employment status of ICE officers, photos of ICE officers not wearing
masks, video screenshots of instances when an ICE officerrCOs
face-covering slips and known Facebook accounts for those considered to
work for the federal immigration agency.

rCLWe will publish all confirmed agents,rCY the Instagram post said.

Border crossings decline following increased enforcement efforts
In identifying the two Portland groups, DHS officials published photos
of signs posted around Portland that include photos of known ICE
officers and requests for information about federal immigration officers
to be submitted to an email address linked to the groups.

The efforts to identify ICE officers come as officials said that the ICE facility in Portland has been rCLunder siegerCY by protesters. DHS said
Friday that ICE officials have been attacked, that federal property has
been destroyed and that death threats have been posted at the facility, officials claim.

The White House said that the incident in Portland took place on July 4
and that officers were kicked, punched and targeted with an rCLincendiary device.rCY

ABC2 in Portland reported that three people have been charged with
felonies in connection with the incident at the facility, which the
local station reported has been the site of ongoing anti-ICE protests.
The three people were all charged with assaulting a federal officer and
one of the defendants was charged with assaulting a federal officer with
a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Portland Police did not immediately return a request for comment from NewsNation about the two local organizations that have been identified
by DHS officials.
