About the ICE List

The ICE List Wiki is a public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in the United States.

It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general public.

This project was created by Crust News.

Project status: This wiki is in active development. Structure, navigation, and data standards are being finalised. Older pages may be reformatted as standards are applied consistently.
Using the data

The ICE List Wiki is designed for public use. Journalists, researchers, and advocacy groups use the data to track enforcement patterns, identify repeat agencies or jurisdictions, and contextualise individual incidents. Pages may be cited with attribution.

Warning: Do Not Use Ring Cameras

Amazon’s Ring cameras are integrated into U.S. law-enforcement workflows. Police agencies can request footage directly from Ring users, allowing private home surveillance video to be shared with law enforcement.

In 2025, Ring partnered with Flock Safety, further linking consumer cameras to nationwide law-enforcement surveillance platforms.

Civil-liberties groups warn this expands surveillance with limited transparency or oversight. ICE List strongly recommends against purchasing or using Ring cameras.

    Killing of Silverio Villegas González by ICE 2025-09-12 • Franklin Park, Illinois

    ICE agents, including Moore, Arian S., fatally shot Silverio Villegas González during an immigration enforcement operation in a residential area outside Chicago. ICE claimed the shooting was justified by a vehicle-related threat, but body-worn camera footage, witness accounts, and independent reporting have raised serious questions about the accuracy of the official narrative.

    Trump’s Lawsuit Against the IRS Is Even More Outrageous Than It Seems

    Trump’s Lawsuit Against the IRS Is Even More Outrageous Than It Seems

    You don’t know the half of it.

    Donald Trump speaks to reporters and members of the media at Mar-a-Lago.
    Al Drago/Getty Images

    Last week Donald Trump filed suit against the IRS, demanding $10 billion in compensation for the unauthorized disclosure of his taxes in September 2020. 

    Oftentimes a news story will seem outrageous at first glance but, on closer inspection, will become less outrageous, or perhaps not outrageous at all. On such occasions, it’s the duty of a sober journal of opinion like The New Republic to set the record straight. 

    This is not one such occasion. 

    Rather, this is a story that, the more you dig into the details, the more outrageous it becomes. News coverage has actually failed to capture fully how very stupid this lawsuit is. I have now reviewed the relevant documents and can attest that, even for Trump, this lawsuit is an outlier. It’s batshit crazy.

    And now, I’ll be happy to take your questions.

    Has a president of the United States ever before sued the executive branch over which he presides?

    He has not.

    Wait, didn’t Trump previously sue the Justice Department over the FBI’s Russiagate investigation and its Mar-a-Lago search for documents that he refused to turn over to the National Archives?

    Trump wasn’t a sitting president then, and that wasn’t a lawsuit but rather two administrative claims filed with the Justice Department. An administrative claim bypasses the courts to seek settlement under threat of filing a lawsuit. The Russiagate claim was filed in 2023, and the Mar-a-Lago claim was filed in 2024. You can read a copy of the latter here.

    The administrative claims were unresolved after Trump began his second term, and as recently as October The New York Times reported that they remained so and that Trump was demanding the Justice Department pay him $230 million. In one respect, the administrative claims are even more kleptocratic than the IRS lawsuit: The decision about whether to settle, and for how much, resides entirely with Trump’s own Justice Department.

    “It looks bad,” Trump admitted in October. “I’m suing [sic] myself, right? So I don’t know. But that was a lawsuit [sic] that was very strong, very powerful.” It’s possible that Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion to make his demand for a $230 million settlement seem reasonable.

    OK, so Trump just became the first sitting president to sue the executive branch. But he’s suing over something that happened not recently, but years ago. Who was president when Trump’s taxes were disclosed?

    Donald J. Trump! Trump’s taxes were downloaded and then made public during Trump’s first term. This is a president not only suing his own executive branch, but suing it over something that happened while he was running it. 

    Do we know who stole the tax records?

    Yes. It was an enterprising IRS contract employee named Charles “Chaz” Littlejohn (whose surname, yes, is also how the Merry Men addressed Robin Hood’s second-in-command). Littlejohn downloaded Trump’s tax information in October 2018 and gave it to The New York Times in May 2019. The Times then used the material in a September 27, 2020, story headlined “Long-Concealed Records Show Trump’s Chronic Losses and Years of Tax Avoidance.”  

    Littlejohn also downloaded tax filings by thousands of rich people and gave those to ProPublica, which, starting in June 2021 (after Trump was president), published a series of stories documenting how the ultrarich avoid paying taxes.

    Where is Littlejohn today?

    Between now and 2029, you’ll find him at the Federal Correctional Institution in Marion, Illinois. Although Littlejohn’s removal of the tax filings went undetected for three years, after the Times piece was published the IRS tracked Littlejohn down and prosecuted him for unauthorized disclosure of tax information. Littlejohn entered a guilty plea and is now serving a five-year sentence.

    Is five years a lot?

    Sure is. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend 10 months, and if the judge had followed these, Littlejohn would have gotten out last March. But the prosecution asked for five years to make an example of Littlejohn, and the judge (a Biden appointee, incidentally) assented.

    Do people who cheat on their taxes get five years?

    Not even close. More than a third who are prosecuted get no prison time at all, and among those who do, the average sentence is 16 months. Of course, every case is different. But in May 2024, Reuven Avi-Yonah of Tax Notes reviewed recent cases of massive tax fraud and couldn’t find anybody sent up the river even for three years. In effect, the federal judiciary would rather you commit tax fraud than that you make public the tax returns of the only president since Richard Nixon who refused to do so.

    Trump’s lawsuit says it’s the IRS’s fault that Littlejohn downloaded his files. How did Littlejohn do it?

    He explained all in a video deposition taken in March 2024. This was in a lawsuit that the hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin brought against the IRS because he was mad that details of his tax returns turned up in ProPublica. Although the IRS’s internal computer safeguards prevented anyone from downloading tax files to Dropbox or other large-file storage sites (something that was well known inside the agency), Littlejohn discovered that the safeguards didn’t prevent him from downloading these to a private web page set up for that purpose. Then he transferred the tax files to a flash drive.

    OK, Trump was president when Littlejohn downloaded his taxes and gave them to The New York Times. Still, how was Trump supposed to know there were vulnerabilities in the IRS’s internal computers?

    Because while he was president, the IRS inspector general told him so. In support of its argument that the IRS is culpable, the Trump complaint says:

    “Every year from 2010 through 2020, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (“TIGTA”) has warned the IRS about security deficiencies related to the protection of taxpayers’ confidential tax return information.” “Many of these deficiencies went uncorrected and … allowed Littlejohn to misappropriate the information, upload it to a private website, and then disclose it[.]”

    But for four of those years Trump was president. If the IRS was negligent in not responding sufficiently to these inspector general warnings, then Trump’s White House was negligent too. As Harry Truman said, the buck stops here. And for crying out loud, these reports were available not just to the Oval Office but to the general public.

    It’s weird that Trump’s lawyers think mentioning the IRS inspector reports helps Trump’s case when so clearly it does the opposite. Probably this language is included because Griffin’s lawsuit included near-identical language. The Trump lawyer who cribbed this language doesn’t seem to have considered that Trump’s relationship to the IRS is markedly different from Griffin’s.

    So Griffin’s lawsuit was the dry run for Trump’s. What happened?

    The case was more or less thrown out of court. Griffin filed his lawsuit in 2022 and reached a puny settlement with the IRS in 2024. In the settlement, Griffin received no money; the IRS apologized. It was a complete waste of Griffin’s time and lawyer’s fees. 

    I can’t resist voicing my disappointment that the IRS apology didn’t say the following: “We are sorry there was an unauthorized disclosure that showed Ken Griffin paid a scandalously low average effective income tax rate of 29.2 percent when Griffin was the fourth-highest paid human in the United States.” The apology just said the IRS “failed to prevent Mr. Littlejohn’s criminal conduct,” that it was working hard to prevent such disclosures in the future, et cetera.

    In his lawsuit, Griffin demanded $1,000 for every unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns, including subsequent disclosures. Trump’s demand for $10 billion follows the same formula, which according to Trump’s complaint works out to $10 billion. But again: Griffin didn’t get a dime. You’d think that would discourage Trump. Maybe nobody told him. (Trump deals harshly with subordinates who deliver bad news.)

    Why did Griffin settle? 

    Because the judge tossed out Griffin’s claim that the IRS violated the 1974 Privacy Act, on the grounds that Griffin (net worth: $51 billion) couldn’t show he suffered pecuniary harm. Trump’s lawsuit similarly claims that the IRS violated the Privacy Act. But since the Times published his tax data, Trump’s net worth has more than tripled to $6.5 billion. That should make it very difficult for Trump to show pecuniary harm. 

    Griffin also faced steep obstacles demonstrating, as Trump’s lawsuit also seeks to, that Littlejohn was a joint employee of his contracting firm, Booz Allen, and of the IRS.

    “Joint employee.” That terminology sounds familiar. Don’t Republicans typically move heaven and earth to prevent contract employees from being assigned legal status as joint employees, in order to shield big corporations that routinely contract out work, especially low-paid work?

    Bingo. Trump’s expansive definition of joint employment in his IRS lawsuit flatly contradicts his own administration’s policy, which is to narrow that definition to maximally benefit big business. In this, as in so many other instances, Trump is a total hypocrite.

    During his first administration, Trump’s Labor Department issued a regulation dramatically limiting the circumstances under which the law would consider a contract employee to be jointly employed by the company (again, typically a large corporation) that hired out the work. Doing so effectively gave big corporations carte blanche to outsource labor violations to smaller and less visible firms. It also freed those big corporations from having to provide legally required benefits like Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance. The human cost of this practice is documented extensively in David Weil’s 2014 book, The Fissured Workplace.

    The Biden administration reversed Trump’s rule, but the Trump administration is expected to reverse Biden’s reversal, restoring a narrow definition of joint employment. 

     If Trump actually pried $10 billion from the IRS, would it be the biggest civil judgment in history?

    Just about. 

    The very biggest was the $206 billion tobacco company settlement in 1998. But the plaintiff in that case was not one person but forty state governments.

    The second biggest judgment was in a lawsuit against a 13-year-old boy who sexually assaulted and then set fire to an 8-year-old boy, who years later died from related causes. In 2011, the jury gave the child’s estate $150 billion, but of course the perpetrator didn’t have and would never have the money to pay even a fraction of that. The case was brought mainly to pressure prosecutors in Montgomery County, Texas, to bring murder charges against the 13-year-old, who was now an adult. The prosecutors did so, and in 2015 the killer was convicted of murder.

    Trump’s $10 billion, if he got it, would be the third-biggest civil judgment in U.S. history. It would be the the biggest civil judgment ever awarded to a plaintiff in a case where the defendant didn’t kill at least one person.

    What’s the IRS’s overall budget?

    The Trump administration has requested $15 billion to fund the IRS this fiscal year. So yes, Trump wants to help himself to two-thirds of the IRS’s annual budget.

    So, wow, the whole thing is pretty nuts, huh.

    You can say that again.

      Smotrich claims Hamas to be given ‘two-month ultimatum’ to disarm: Report

      Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Hamas will be given a “two-month ultimatum” to disarm by Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace”, which will oversee ending the war in Gaza.

      In comments carried by local Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon, Smotrich is quoted as saying that there is no end to the war “before Hamas is destroyed.”

      “There will be no Hamas in Gaza, neither militarily, nor [civilly], nor in government. We made a commitment, and that is the main objective of the war,” he said.

      The second phase of the Gaza agreement stipulates the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian factions, further withdrawal of Israeli forces and the beginning of reconstruction efforts.

      While the Board of Peace was announced as part of Trump’s ceasefire plan in October, its charter does not explicitly refer to the enclave and is instead described as “an international organisation that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance.”

      French judges issue arrest warrants for French-Israeli activists over complicity in Gaza genocide

      French investigating judges have issued arrest warrants against two French-Israeli women living in Israel accused of having obstructed the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, French newspaper Le Monde has reported.

      The women were identified as Nili Kupfer-Naouri, founder and president of the organisation Israel Is Forever, which states its mission as the “mobilization of French-speaking Zionist forces,” and Rachel T., spokesperson for the collective Tsav 9, which repeatedly blocked trucks headed for Gaza in 2024.

      According to the report, they are accused of complicity in genocide and incitement to genocide.

      ‘Rafah crossing opening won’t improve things for Palestinians patients in Gaza’

      Moureen Kaki, head of the Gaza mission for international medical NGO Glia, says the situation continues to be dire for the thousands of people who need medical care in the enclave.

      “The fact that the Rafah crossing is opening does not mean that there will be more medical supplies or equipment brought in”, she told Al Jazeera from Khan Younis. “This effectively does very little to change circumstances for patients on the ground here in Gaza.”

      Only five people desperately in need of medical care managed to leave the Gaza Strip today under Israel’s restrictions, out of about 20,000 who need to be evacuated.

      “We have no information and no promises from the Israelis” as to when the designated number of Palestinian patients, which has been set at 50 per day, will be allowed to exit for treatment, she said.

      Kaki, who facilitates the entry of international medical delegations into Gaza, said that she also doesn’t see the opening of the Rafah crossing helping to increase the presence of the international medical and humanitarian communities there.

      “There’s currently a 40 percent denial rate” by Israel for the entry of delegates, she said. “Delegates have been denied for carrying something as minimal as a stethoscope, she said.

    US contractor sent Gaza plan to White House that would secure 300% profits

    US contractor sent Gaza plan to White House that would secure 300% profits

    Gothams LLC’s draft proposal, obtained by the Guardian, suggests seven-year trucking and logistics monopoly

    The draft plan from Gothams LLC would allow it to collect a fee for every truck moving goods into Gaza, and charge for the use of its warehousing and distribution system.

    The Guardian first reported in December that Gothams was the frontrunner for a lucrative deal that would be doled out by a future Trump-chaired Board of Peace, but the scale of the profit margin was not clear.

    Though the firm’s CEO, Matthew Michelsen, told the Guardian in December he was halting his proposal, a company partner is still involved, records show, and a new Gaza supply system (GSS) is being discussed by administration officials and businesspeople affiliated with Trump’s Board of Peace. Michelsen declined to talk to the Guardian for this story.

    Chris Vanek, a partner at Gothams, has been coordinating with White House officials about GSS in recent weeks, according to two sources familiar with the process and records reviewed by the Guardian.

    A Gothams spokesperson emailed a quote from Vanek, a former army officer, in response to questions about this story.

    “The Board of Peace, Palestinian and Israeli stakeholders, and the US Department of State asked me to assist with planning efforts based on my extensive experience in conflict zones, reconstruction, and disaster response. There is no existing agreement or contract, and I have provided this assistance at my own expense in support of peace efforts,” it said.

    A spokesperson for Gothams later added that Vanek “has not had any discussions regarding financing, investment, or returns, and any suggestion otherwise would be inaccurate”.

    They did not respond directly to questions about the profit margins or proposed exclusivity agreement outlined in the November draft.

    Charles Tiefer, an expert on federal contracting law who sat on the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, said the terms listed by Gothams are outrageous. “There’s never been a US government contract that had triple returns on capital, not in 200 years. To make 25% is considered good,” he said. “Having spent three years looking at contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, this looks like highway robbery.”

    The Austin-based firm has received government contracts in the past, including its most recent work supporting operations at the notorious South Florida detention center, a tent camp for migrants, which was dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” and criticized for potential human rights violations.

    The scale of Gaza’s reconstruction project is worth more than $70bn, according to the United Nations, which estimates that three-quarters of Gaza’s buildings have been reduced to rubble and 90% of the region’s residents have been displaced.

    Donald Trump, who has also described Gaza’s potential as “the Riviera of the Middle East”, serves as the chair of the Board of Peace. He installed Kushner, his son-in-law, and other allies on its “executive board” in January and named a slew of countries as members.

    Kushner talked about “amazing investment opportunities” while he stood on stage in Davos during the unveiling of the Board of Peace. He laid out a master plan that envisioned rebuilding the Mediterranean coast as a tourism and commerce hub, including eight planned cities, a new port and an advanced manufacturing hub.

    Any reconstruction work will hinge on groups’ ability to ferry new materials into Gaza. Israel has long-controlled the entry and exit of goods to the Palestinian territory and has placed restrictions on key materials like generators and cement.

    While Kushner did not release details about upcoming contracts or plans, White House officials – including two former “department of government efficiency” (Doge) officials operating under Kushner – have been planning out potential business deals for months.

    The White House referred questions to a state department Gaza taskforce.

    Eddie Vasquez, a state department spokesperson for the White House efforts on Gaza, did not discuss the specifics of Gothams’ proposal, but told the Guardian: “No procurement process or contracting mechanism has been stood up as the Board of Peace was just recently formed and announced. While informal conversations may have taken place, all this remains TBD.”

    Download original document

    A draft plan printed on Gothams’ letterhead proposes a “fully integrated humanitarian logistics system” that meets best commercial practices and US government standards for aid delivery.

    The Gothams draft proposal says “Customer” – the Board of Peace – “agrees to a minimum three (3) times return on capital expenditure”. The document also calls for “exclusivity to the Contractor for seven (7) years with a three (3) year subsequent option period”.

    Download original document

    The Guardian has obtained another draft slide deck produced by promoters of GSS, dated January 2026, offering a return on investment (ROI) of 46% to 175% to “sovereign investors” in the first year alone.

    Three people familiar with the process say that Board of Peace and White House officials are courting investments from sovereign wealth funds, such as the UAE’s Mubadala, to fund reconstruction projects like the Gaza support system. Kushner didn’t refer to GSS in his Davos presentation but called for investors to put their money into reconstruction efforts.

    “We need to come, take faith, invest in the people, try to be a part of it,” he said.
