Fact check: Have ICE agents or their families been doxxed

1. Summary of the results

Yes, ICE agents and their families have been extensively doxxed. Multiple Department of Homeland Security sources confirm that ICE officers and their family members have had their personal information, photos, and locations posted online, putting them in grave danger ^[1].

The scale of targeting has dramatically escalated, with sources reporting:

• A 700% increase in assaults against ICE agents ^[1]
• An 830% increase in attacks since January according to some reports ^[2]
• Doxxing websites and social media accounts specifically created to reveal personal information of federal immigration workers ^[2]

Specific targeting methods include:

• Online platforms and flyers used to publish personal information and threaten officers ^[1]
• Photos and locations of agents and their spouses posted on doxxing websites ^[2]
• Physical attacks following doxxing incidents, with at least one case requiring medical attention ^[3]

The doxxing has caused emotional and financial distress to affected agents and their families ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the political dimensions of this issue. One source reveals that Rep. Salud Carbajal, a politician, was involved in doxxing an ICE employee, which led to that employee being attacked by a mob ^[3]. This suggests the doxxing isn't limited to anonymous activists but may involve elected officials.

The question also doesn't address the geographic concentration of these incidents. Sources specifically mention Portland as a location where anarchists and rioters have illegally doxxed ICE officers ^[1], suggesting certain cities may be hotspots for this activity.

Missing is any perspective from civil rights groups or immigration advocacy organizations who might argue that increased scrutiny of ICE operations is justified given controversial immigration enforcement policies. The sources provided are primarily from DHS and conservative media outlets.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself appears neutral and factual - it simply asks whether doxxing has occurred without making inflammatory claims. However, the question's brevity may understate the severity and scale of the documented incidents.

Potential bias in the sources should be noted: The analyses come primarily from Department of Homeland Security sources ^[1] and Fox News ^[2], which may have institutional interests in emphasizing threats to federal law enforcement. DHS benefits from highlighting dangers to its personnel as it can justify increased security measures and resources, while conservative media outlets benefit from stories that portray immigration enforcement officers as victims of left-wing violence.

The dramatic percentage increases (700% to 830%) reported across sources should be viewed cautiously without knowing the baseline numbers - a jump from 1 to 8 incidents would technically be a 700% increase but might not represent the crisis-level situation the percentages suggest.
