GitHub, Medium Remove Public ICE Employee Data Repository (obsceneworks.com)
owenferguson shares a report from Obscene Works: Medium.com and GitHub have today quashed the release of a set of data comprising of all the ICE employees who openly list themselves on LinkedIn.com. All the data released was gathered from publicly listed LinkedIn profiles. The data was assembled by Sam Lavigne of http://lav.io/ and was published as a repository on GitHub, and announced via an article on Medium.com.
Disgusting political pandering. Slashdot, you are better than this.

So, basically, it's just as it has been since 1973. You might suffer from Trump derangement syndrome. Might be worth getting checked out.
This is backlash for separating children from families. I don't care if you're a policy maker or not, if you do that then you're responsible for taking part. "I was just following orders" is not an excuse.
They may have taken the jobs out of desperation, but they didn't have to announce the fact on LinkedIn.
They made the information about themselves public.
The real "Libtards" are the Libertarians!
Why would anyone want this information?
The only reason for a list like this is to encourage harassment of these individuals just for working somewhere that asshole doesn't agree with.
Without enforcers, the policy makers would be powerless. Without foot soldiers, there would be no war.
What a creep.
I find it helpful to remember that as much as internet companies use data to spy on and exploit their users, we can at times reverse the story, and leverage those very same online platforms as a means to investigate or even undermine entrenched power structures.
This is some serious confusion, or just a severe "us against the world" mindset. Yes, internet companies sometimes spy on their customers. No, the people in his stalker notebook do not spy on ISP customers. No, the spying ISPs engage in is not the same as encouraging stalking.
I've seen a certain (few) progressives justify bad behavior as "sticking it to the man", "speaking truth to power", or "punching up". Invariably, this was an excuse to be rude or make accusations about a person who wasn't in a position to defend themselves. This data dump goes beyond rudeness.

Boo boo boo! They are following the fucking law! How terrible! Same law your hero Obama followed.
How much did you worry about brown kids the ? Zero. Disingenuous prat.
Hate the law? Change it.
But that is not your issue. You hate Trump.
Hillary lost. Move on.
for doing a job. I don't think there's many that would argue that we don't want and need some level of border security (there's a few extreme libertarians who do). If we're going to have that then _somebody_ is going to enforce that security.
We can argue that they should quit their jobs if they're asked to do something immoral, but a lot of them _aren't_ doing anything immoral. I'm going to Godwin this thread right now, not every German helped kill jews. There's boarder patrol agents who help people they find in the desert.
I understand wanting to do something to help Mexican and South American immigrants. But if that's our goal then there's a _lot_ more to do than immigration. We can start by legalizing drugs. The drug war fuels their violence. We can also stop meddling in their politics. "Banana Republic" has a sinister meaning and our CIA has helped run death squads in South America. Start voting for the kinds of politicians who oppose torture and unnecessary military build up. Drop food instead of Bombs, it's cheaper and more humane.
There's a lot we can do to stem the tide of illegal immigrants. But that said, we don't necessarily _want_ to do that. We're addicted to their cheap, cheap labor. Always have been.

Baybees. Some as old as 17 with stubble on their face.
Publishing a LinkedIn search may or may not be moral, but it's not "doxxing." Doxxing would be linking it to non public info like phone number, address, ssn, etc for the purposes of encouraging harassment.

The law's been on the book a long time, the current administration is interpreting it rather differrently than previous administrations.
They can change their interpretation/policy in a heartbeat.
Who currently control the llaw-making institutions and are thus capable of changing the law? (But prefer to use kids as a lever for their political purposes)
Slashdot, you are better than this.
No, we're not. This site is about weird racist memes, goatse and penis bird. There may nothing beneath us.
“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
Euthanasia is a choice made by rational adults about their own end.
Abortion does not result of the loss of a thinking being that can feel distress.
What is going on now is involuntary confinement of children who can and who have committed no crime.
You are not right. Most doxxers defend their actions by saying the information they compiled was publicly accessible. While the data may be publicly available, it is not compiled into an easily searchable database for the purposes of hurting people.
If you like keeping lists of "undesirablea" so much, just remember... Hitler kept lists too. Yup... Godwin's Law!
The parents could always, you know, not violate US immigration law. I know, crazy idea!
Yeah, to me its deletion from GitHub is pretty obvious--it's not a program or data for a program, of course it ought to go--and I'm a bit disgusted by the double-standards of a lot of the people here. Would the people here be as offended if the list deleted was, say, "LGBT employees of Google"? How about "Non-White Health Care Workers in Random City"? These kinds of lists are a problem because they invite harassment of the people on the list--and it's disturbing to see people thinking it's somehow okay to do this when it's the 'right' people getting harassed, because that basically means that you will have to be careful about expressing any ideas which might risk you at some point (now or in the future) finding yourself on one of those lists...and that won't protect you against being included by accident or because somebody wanting revenge or a petty power play.
No.. you are either mistaken or lying.
1) Trump is only enforcing the law : Nope, it's a new policy. And it's a decision by Miller, Sessions, and Trump to do so. Presidents Bush and Obama saw no need to enforce the law this way.
2) Many children arrive unaccompanied
We are talking about babies and toddlers being taken from their parents-- we have audio of them crying for their parents.
3) Children can only be separated for 20 days
No. per former ICE head on the news tonight at 9pm, there is no procedure in place to return the children. The Parents will be "fast tracked" back to their home countries and the toddlers and babies will be returned months to *years* later. And there is no documentation being taken to tie the parents to the children. And there are already documented cases where the child has been missing longer than 20 days.
4) Their conditions are actually pretty good, better than most poor American children get, and better than where they came from.
Living in tents in near 100 degree temperatures is not "pretty" good. That's the conditions which male toddlers and children are being kept under. Babies and females we barely know about-- reporters are not being allowed in the facllities. The government (which lies constantly) is the only source saying the conditions are good.
5) We separate citizen children from their parents, when we put parents in jail
Not for minor crimes.
6) Obama did it
Obama's not president and at the least did not do it on this scale (if it did it at all- you are going to provide a cite for that because all I find when I google that is right wing sites.)
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
Because people on the left are known to be violent? Finally the truth is out there.
Sure. This is why my kid had on their history final that Reagan ran up the national debt and turned the US from the #1 creditor to a debtor nation.
The difference from Obama was the political parties running congress and the executive were swapped. So - the blame got swapped too.
I tried every decent and legal way I could think of to resolve the issue w/the business before I rented the chicken suit
Unless you live in one of the few places that eliminated cash bail for misdemeanors, then you're wrong. You could challenge being held on bail because of childcare obligations, but scheduling that hearing takes a while, first appearance judges don't want to hear it. There's no law that sets misdemeanor bail to zero for parents, nor for people who can't post.
Doxing often involves just collecting publicly available information. Most people don't realize how various little bits here and there can be collated and cross-referenced to build up a profile of them, kinda like what Facebook does.
Just because something is public doesn't mean it can't be used for doxing. Merely collecting it for the purposes of harassment or shaming is enough.

Why throw the parents in one cage and the children in a different cage? Why not keep them together?
Even if you ignore the humanitarian grounds, it surely costs more to provide free childcare that the parents would otherwise have given.
Let's drop the pretence. This is being done to put pressure on the Democrats and to discourage migrants. It's not a legal requirement or procedural issue, it's a deliberate decision to separate children from their parents for political reasons.

It would be just as bad. As is the list of "SJWs".
Lists of people you dislike are almost always a bad idea.

Generally, if government officials are using that passage to defend themselves or justify their actions they tend to be in a bad way. It was used as one of the scriptural bases for the Divine Right of Kings, opposition to the American Revolution, and by pro-slavery forces to justify adherence to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. More recently it has been used as a support by the apartheid government of South Africa.
When Romans 13:1-7 is cited while ignoring the next couple of passages (Romans 13:8-10) it's pretty obvious that it is being used for dubious ends, as that goes:
I'm not a biblical scholar, nor am I a well-versed adherent to the Pauline epistles, but I do have a hard time seeing any love in this.
Compared to our return on the 8 Trillion in increased debt from the Obama years with no real benefit to be shown for it - yeah, totally a bargain.
Let's see - roughly 6T of that was directly related to saving our economy from the crash of 2008, and whose fault was that again? Oh yeah, the Republican led rollback of Democratic originated regulations on the banking industry allowed that to develop. Hmm. The remainder of the deficits were the result of Republican majority Congress, so what, exactly, did Obama do to the debt? What did we get? Obamacare. A half-assed form of universal coverage, but at least they tried, which the Republicans apparently find so abhorrent they're doing everything in their power to sabotage it so it "fails". Why? Because they're incapable of replacing it, as their concept of "healthcare", short version: pay or suffer and die (restated as it's god's will)

Thus, the CRA wasn't in play for these investment banks, nor were they regulated. Yet they were the root cause of the recession.
You can read more about it - yes, there was a housing bubble, it wasn't caused by government policy, and the GSEs (Fannie and Freddie) weren't drivers with their directives. When you can offload your risk for cash to loan more, there's no incentive to strengthen your requirements, because your base risk is still low. Someone else took the risk off your hands that you had. If you recall, several of those investment banks wound up being guilty of repackaging low-quality mortgage loans as high quality investments. All of that lead to an environment where lower quality loans being less costly and risky to originators and thus more and more were written and passed into the system. That increase in demand caused, you guessed it, increased prices. Thus the bubble grew and grew and finally popped at the slightest poke.
