“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.
Even as law enforcement, they have a level of rights to privacy, just like the rest of us. That is why badge numbers are used. They unambiguously identify them, without also spreading who their siblings are, and where their children go to school.
The lack of ANY identifying features for ICE “agents” is VERY telling.
F*** that. I’m a professor to public institution. My name salary and virtually everything else has to be public information.
These assholes should be required to be a lot more transparent than I am. I don’t get to beat anybody and ship them off to a third world hellhole prison.
I’m a major one for transparency. I will accept that a police or justice officer doing their job properly and reasonably, can still make enemies. A certain level of information security, of their private lives, is then reasonable to keep them and their families safe.
Their job life should be documented well however. If their body cam is not working, it should be assumed to hide something, until proven otherwise.
I also don’t see the US’s ICE as police or justice. They have shown none of the restraint and control expected of the role. They are armed thugs, with a powerful backer, and should be treated as such.
I think you’re 100% off base. We need as much transparency as humanly possible. You only see ice as a problem because it’s a problem for you.
I know what a lot of black folks that are terrified of getting stopped by the police under any circumstances. Your categorizing them differently and for good reason but it’s wildly misguided.
FYI, I’m not American, I’m watching from the outside.
The UK police, while they have their issues, are a lot better than American police. A lot of them also love the bodycams. They make their job a LOT easier, with far less hassle.
Our police are considerably more dangerous than yours. And all they have to do is turn off their body cams.
Unfortunately we live in completely different realities. I believe your cops are actually trained.
I’m a public (state) employee. My name, title, and salary are posted publicly. I don’t see why ICE agents shouldn’t enjoy that same level of transparency.
They do not have a right to privacy while they are on duty.
And there is no “right to privacy” in the USA for anyone.
On paper, there is a right to privacy in the US in places where a reasonable person would have an expectation to privacy, which is codified into law.
The only place where everyone has an expectation to privacy (barring exigent circumstances) is bathrooms (porta-potties included), changing rooms, locker rooms, or anywhere else where people are expected to use the bathroom or change clothes.
There is an expectation to privacy for individuals on their own private property. I can spy on you in my house, but you can’t spy on me in my house (peeping through someone’s windows is a crime but me having a hidden camera in my living room is not).
However, when it comes to public officials conducting duties of their office, there is no expectation of privacy, even on their private property (though, due to the conflict of interest, this is unlikely to happen).
The only place where no one has any expectation to privacy is public property (like a park, post office, library, city bus, etc.) and private property which is open to the public (most businesses, malls, etc.).
In practice, you can’t fart or jerk off without a corporation knowing about it.
I make sure they know about it!
