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.
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.

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.
U.S. Border Patrol agent identified through public reporting and
FOIA-linked records as participating in an interior immigration

2025-11-06: [shots, 7 holes': Border Patrol supervisor appeared to brag about shooting woman]
— A Border Patrol supervisor who shot a woman after a crash in Chicago
allegedly texted “5 shots, 7 holes,” and a judge is now examining
whether federal agents mishandled key evidence by releasing his SUV
before defense experts could inspect it.
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.

Just 32% of Americans say Trump has right priorities, new poll finds, ahead of State of the Union speech – live
CNN
poll reveals Trump’s approval among independents at 26%; White House
press secretary says speech to focus on US’s 250th anniversary and
affordability concerns
Just 32% of Americans believe Trump has the right priorities, CNN poll finds
A new CNN poll shows Trump’s approval falling ahead of his State of the Union address.
The
poll, conducted by polling firm SSRS, showed his approval among
independents at a new low among CNN’s polls, at 26%, the outlet
reported.
Among the findings: only 32% of
Americans believe Trump has the right priorities, his job approval
rating among all adults was 36%, and 61% said his policies are moving
the country in the wrong direction.
The outlet
noted a steep drop in approval among Latino Americans, at a 19-point
drop, and Americans under age 45, with an 18-point drop.
Respondents
said they want Trump to talk about the economy and cost of living
during the State of the Union, the issue that far outpaced other topics
they were asked about.
Mike Lee, a Republican US senator, retorted in response to reports that Democrats would be skipping tonight’s state of the union address: “More room for the hockey team.”
He’s
referencing the US men’s hockey team, which won a gold medal in the
Olympics, then partied in the locker room with FBI director Kash Patel.
On
a phone call, Trump invited the team to attend the state of the union,
then joked that he’d “have to bring the women too,” a reference to the
US women’s hockey team, which also won a gold medal. The men’s players
laughed as Trump continued that if he didn’t invite the women’s team, he
“probably would be impeached”.
The laughs
from the players led to backlash, as the women’s team, more decorated
than the men’s, was treated as a joke rather than equals.
Homeland
security secretary Kristi Noem and her adviser Corey Lewandowski came
up with the plan to suspend TSA PreCheck services at airports amid the
partial government shutdown, the Washington Post reported late Monday, citing unnamed officials.
The
plan was scrapped after the White House got involved, and PreCheck is
now open on a case-by-case basis depending on each airport’s ability to
manage it, the Post said.
Shutting down
PreCheck, a paid program where travelers can go through security faster
if they’re signed up and pre-screened, only lasted a few hours and went
over poorly with travelers and Democrats.
A
former DHS official under Obama told the Post that shutting down
PreCheck seemed like a move to attack Democrats rather than an
operational decision. “If your goal is to process many people as
efficiently as possible to limit the number of staff you need, you would
actually enhance or quickly clear the TSA lines and then go to your
general aviation line — so that did not make sense,” Juliette Kayyem
told the Post.
Noem, Lewandowski, the White
House and DHS did not directly address questions from the Post over
whether the two DHS officials came up with the plan.
At least 30 lawmakers are expected to skip Trump's speech for Democratic event
About
30 members of Congress are planning to attend a Democratic
counter-program event tonight instead of the State of the Union,
according to the organizers of the “People’s State of the Union,” led by
liberal group MoveOn and progressive media outlet MeidasTouch.
Here are the lawmakers who are expected to attend the separate event and skip the Trump speech:
The
US state department set up 24/7 phone lines for US residents stuck in
Mexico after the killing of a major drug lord and subsequent retaliatory
violence by the cartel, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt
said this morning on Fox and Friends.
The
state department continues to update its travel advisories, she said,
so people should continue to monitor those for their safety.
“Right
now, we are unaware of any reports of any Americans being hurt,
kidnapped or killed, and the Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a
finger on a single American, or they will pay severe consequences under
this President, and they already are,” she said.
As
part of his focus on affordability, Trump is expected to announce new
policies, including a “rate payer protection pledge,” the Wall Street Journal reports this morning.
The
administration negotiated these “pledges” with tech companies, and they
will require those companies to pay more electricity costs in places
where data centers are being built, the Journal reports. The pledges
entail companies saying they will “pay their own way” instead of other
customers enduring price increases, the paper wrote.
Backlashes
against data centers, and the increased cost and environmental burdens
they bring, have increased across the political spectrum as more are
being built.
The president is also expected to
call for Congress to pass his “Great Healthcare Plan” that would move
federal subsidies from insurers to consumers.
White House: Trump address to focus on US's 250th anniversary and affordability
Trump’s
State of the Union will focus on the 250th anniversary of US
independence and affordability concerns, White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt said this morning on Fox and Friends.
“He is going to share the stories of great American heroes who exemplify bravery and the spirit of 1776,” she said.
He will lay out an “ambitious agenda” designed to make life more affordable for working class people, she said.
One
of the president’s guests will be a Pennsylvania waitress who is
benefitting from a no tax on tips or overtime policy. Other guests will
include members of the military, and first lady Melania Trump will have
guests with her as part of her “fostering the future” initiative.
“There will be some tear-jerking moments, as there was last year, in addition to some moments of levity,” Leavitt said.

Who is Abigail Spanberger: the centrist Democrat responding to Trump's speech
Joseph Gedeon
Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic governor of Virginia, will deliver the Democratic response to Trump’s State of the Union tonight. Alex Padilla, a Democratic senator from California, will deliver a response in Spanish.
Spanberger,
seen as a moderate, won the governorship last year by 15 points,
flipping the office from a Republican, Glenn Youngkin, back to
Democrats.
Since taking office, she followed
through on a campaign promise to end Virginia law enforcement’s
cooperation agreements with ICE and has backed the idea of redrawing
congressional maps ahead of the midterms.
She’s
leading a state where Democrats now hold the governor’s office, state
senate and state house of delegates - providing a way for Democrats to
tell voters what they can do when they have control.
Pennsylvania Democrat Summer Lee, a progressive, is delivering the Working Families party response.
Read more about Spanberger ahead of her big moment:
During his State of the Union address tonight, Trump is expected to defend his record during his first year back in office.
And he’s planning for a lengthy rehashing: “It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about,” Trump said.
Democrats are either attending in “silent defiance” or skipping the event, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries said. Some are using their choice of guests to send a message, including by bringing survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse or people affected by immigration enforcement.
Ruben Gallego,
a Democratic senator from Arizona, is one of the Democrats who will be
skipping the event, saying, “I have more productive ways to spend two
hours than listening to more lies.”
Gallego
and other Democrats are expected to attend a separate event organized by
the progressive media outlet MeidasTouch and liberal group MoveOn.

Donald
Trump will deliver the State of the Union in Washington on Tuesday, his
second major address to Congress this term and the last before the 2026
midterms.
It’s also the first time Trump will be confronted with the supreme court justices since they ruled his tariffs illegal.
Historically,
the State of the Union is an opportunity for the president to lay out
their agenda and talk about key policy objectives.
While it’s not officially a campaign event, it’s likely Trump will use the speech as an opportunity to tout his accomplishments.
Here’s what to know and how to watch Trump’s State of the Union:
USS Gerald Ford, world's largest aircraft carrier, at US base on Crete
The
USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, has reached
the US naval base of Souda Bay on Crete, en route to joining a massive
military build-up in the Middle East.
President Donald Trump
– who ordered strikes on Iran last year – has repeatedly threatened
Tehran with fresh military action if it does not cut a new deal on its
contentious nuclear programme, which the West fears is aimed at building
an atomic weapon.
The Ford reached the Greek island on Monday, according to an AFP photographer.
Donald Trump is reportedly becoming increasingly frustrated as he weighs up whether to strike Iran.
The president has been told any attack would not be “a singular,
decisive blow” and could risk drawing the United States into a
protracted war in the Middle East.
Trump’s decision to order airstrikes against Iran
will hinge in part on the judgment of Trump’s special envoys, Steve
Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about whether Tehran is stalling over a deal
to relinquish its capacity to produce nuclear weapons, according to
people familiar with the matter.
However, Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with what aides describe as the limits of military leverage, CBS News reports.
He
has asked his advisers for options that would deliver a strike
substantial enough to force Iranian leaders negotiate from a weaker
position - but military planners have warned that there can be no
guarantee, according to reports.
The president has not made a final determination on any strikes, as the administration prepares for Iran
to send its latest proposal this week, ahead of what officials have
described as a last-ditch round of negotiations scheduled for Thursday
in Geneva.
Trump has declared that he can use tariffs in a “much more powerful and obnoxious way”,
as the UK and the EU said they were seeking urgent clarity on the US
trade deals they struck last summer. Trump threatened to escalate his
global tariff war on Monday, after a supreme court ruling last week that
he had overstepped his legal authority to impose his “liberation day”
measures last year. More here.
The 21-year-old man who was shot and
killed after having entered Trump’s Florida resort on Sunday – while
carrying a shotgun – came from a North Carolina family of the
president’s supporters and had reportedly become increasingly
fixated on the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files. The focus of the FBI’s
investigation into the intrusion attributed to Austin Tucker Martin is
tightening on his movements and motives. More here.
The US military launched a strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean,
which killed three men – its third such attack over the course of a
week. The Southern Command identified the three men killed as “male
narco-terrorists” and clarified that no US military forces were harmed
in the strike. More here.
Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader
in the US House of Representatives, announced that he is inviting the
family of Rev Jesse Jackson, the civil- and human-rights trailblazer who
died last week, to the State of the Union address on Tuesday. Several other lawmakers have announced they’re inviting survivors of sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein.
