A hacking group called "The Com" released personal information of hundreds of federal agents, including 680 DHS employees, 190 Justice Department officials, and 170 FBI employees[^1]. The hack revealed names, office locations, and home addresses of agents.

The incident occurs amid heightened tensions, with ICE claiming a dramatic rise in assaults against officers, though these statistics are disputed. Colorado Public Radio found only a 25% increase in assaults rather than the administration's claimed "1000% increase"[^9].

The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi Noem promised prosecutions against those who dox ICE agents in July 2025, but three months later no charges have been filed[^9]. This contrasts with California, where prosecutors have charged three activists for allegedly following and broadcasting an ICE agent's home address[^9].

The hack comes as the Trump administration has pushed tech companies to remove ICE-tracking apps, with both Meta and Apple recently complying with requests to take down such tools[^9].
