Extremist Website Publishes ICE Agent Posters Amid Growing Anti-Enforcement Protests
Executive Summary
The extremist site Rose City Counter-Info published digital posters targeting three U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents by name and listed their residence, framing them as symbols of state oppression. This act of doxxing—publicizing identifying details—comes amid nationwide protests against federal immigration raids. While the group claims solidarity with broader anti-ICE and anti-border movements, officials have condemned the tactic as a serious threat to the safety of law enforcement personnel.
Analysis
The posters published on June 13 are part of a wider campaign by radical anti-enforcement groups to intimidate ICE agents and undermine immigration operations. The Rose City Counter-Info post, titled “No Peace for ICE Agents”, urges readers to distribute the images widely and threatens continued exposure of federal personnel. It aligns itself ideologically with recent unrest in Los Angeles and broader calls for the abolition of borders, deportations, and immigration enforcement altogether.
This move echoes the actions of another group, The Crustian Daily, which created an online database of known ICE agents and collaborators, arguing that anonymity should not shield those enforcing immigration law. Despite disclaimers against encouraging harassment, the exposure of even partial identifying information raises concerns about agent safety and public incitement.
In response, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a program to safeguard ICE agents, offering patrol support for agents who fear retaliation. Additionally, federal officials have warned that those engaged in doxxing may face prosecution. Homeland Security condemned these groups as “thugs” aiding cartels and traffickers, and noted a 413% increase in assaults on federal officers as justification for agents increasingly wearing masks during operations.
The broader context includes an emboldened Trump administration executing mass deportation policies, which have prompted protests and violent clashes with law enforcement across several cities. Public opinion remains largely in favor of deporting individuals convicted of crimes, but the backlash from radical groups is intensifying and evolving into organized campaigns of exposure and intimidation.
