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.
"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus
Okay, I'll bite. The "article" doesn't even answer the question. What the heck is an ICE employee? A gas-powered employee?
Answer via Google: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
That didn't take too long at all..,
Now all that remains to be seen is how badly they fuck it up from here...
Code we don't like--- gone
Code we do like --- gone and stolen...
So glad I deleted my account.. I refuse to feed the beast...
Not that my $7/mth will hurt them but hey it's all I can do legally
And now you validated that ass-hat by writing about him.
Lav.io is an appropriate URL because it needs to get flushed.
I stopped coming to /. years ago and this "article" is a stark reminder why.
and I'll grant the story, touching on Github as it does, has some potential validity. But what the hell is up with that headline? "Willfully Destroyed"? They didn't destroy anything. They took it off their servers. Probably because there's a lot of emotions running high and they're rightfully worried some nutjob is going to go off half cocked and hurt somebody.
I'm grateful to Github for nipping this in the bud. Crap like this is exactly the sort of response that our countries current extreme immigration policies are meant to solicit. We're being trolled; probably as a point of distraction from economic issues that otherwise would dominate the mid-term elections (the economy's doing crap with poor wage growth despite full employment). Now is the time to calm the heck down and apply appropriate and legal pressure. Not dox a bunch of poorly paid gov't employees who most likely took the job out of desperation (and yes, I know folks who work in some of the less upstanding law enforcement jobs and believe me, it's not by choice).

Why would anyone want this information? It is not like these folks are policy makers. Just enforcers. You don't penalize the cop because you got caught going 55 in a 25 zone.
What's the point of deleting the public data if you first make a public archive of it?
I have to file this under my 'who gives a shit' category. SMH.

From a purely "networked world of today" (tm) standpoint this is very interesting and sign of the times. That it was posted on Medium is kind of funny in a pathetic sort of way.

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.
A cat can't teach a dog to bark.
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.
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
As I understand US law, if two citizens leave the country and have a kid, then that kid is also a legal US citizen, and may return to the country with them. Is Mexican law regarding this different? Are they not allowing the parents to bring their kid back to their country with them?
Why Github? I can sort of accept the logic (albeit I don’t agree with it) of posting this kind of thing to Wikileaks, but github? Seriously? Was it in the form of a program? ...?

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
I would imagine the ultimate impetus is that Microsoft doesn't want to go to the bother of providing the FBI the IPs of all those who accessed the data for the next year.
The people that run US concentration camps and the reason why the US left the UN Human Rights Council. Trump is continuing to look more authoritarian... quick, we need a dumb tweet to try to forget immigrant children, and the news cycle continues...
Breitbart had a good summary of the situation(*).
In short, it's manufactured outrage intended to gin up exactly this sort of reaction in people.
1) Trump is only enforcing the law
2) Many children arrive unaccompanied
3) Children can only be separated for 20 days
4) Their conditions are actually pretty good, better than most poor American children get, and better than where they came from.
5) We separate citizen children from their parents, when we put parents in jail
6) Obama did it
And finally:
7) Asylum seekers not breaking the law are not separated from their children.
(*) To say Breitbart is not a valid source, you would have to point out that these facts are in error. Are any of these facts in error? No? Then Breitbart is a perfectly acceptable source for these facts.
Microsoft faces outrage for blog post touting ICE contract . Coincidence?
This is one of the many reasons I don't do social media. Things are too big .. not just fun and games anymore... too many people are leveraging information about you in ways you can't anticipate and probably wouldn't approve of or appreciate.
One day you'll be trying to reenter the country after a trip overseas and some government goon will demand your social media account or you'll apply for a Job and prospective employer will go trolling the net for everything about you in order to pass judgment or basically shit like this where you work somewhere and that fact becomes a magnet for mobs and crazies. Ditto on personal level.
This crap is too big and too pervasively leveraged that not only is it just not fun anymore it's increasingly detrimental.
Having said that the road to hell is paved with people who are just doing their job or just following orders. Perhaps some enterprising employers somewhere will use this list to poach ICE employees away as a means of exerting political pressure and getting cheap publicity for their trouble.
Speaking for myself I absolutely despise LinkedIn and to some extent the people who use LinkedIn. If you use LinkedIn keep it to yourself because I will judge you harshly. You may wake up one day to find your inbox crammed with "job offers". I'm not a nice person.
Communists and Marxists are using the open internet to gather information on the US federal government. :) .gov and .mil data.
;)
Stop putting information out online.
Got a resume? Print it and hand it in to the approved gov person for that promotion, side ways promotion. Nothing digital, online.
Be aware of strange new cctv, random people with a camera near any federal building.
Talking about 1st A, been a tourist. Doing a 1s A protests outside your building? That "first amendment audit" on gov workers, mil, contractors for hours?
Get quality facial recognition on anyone near any federal building. Always.
Dont use any electronic communications devices near a federal building. Remove the battery from any gov/private cell phone. Carry an extra cell phone thats powered, never used and is totally empty. Photograph any person of interest with that. Wait for the FOIA request on that device
Communists are running complex data gathering on all of the US gov. Electronic, faces, cars, internet.
Searching the internet for every fragment of
Understand how the GCHQ, the SAS, UK mil, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch operated in Ireland. North and south and in the USA.
They did not have information found out by lawyers, media, activists, Communists, politicians.
How? By been secret. Stop publishing information. Use front companies and locations to run investigations from. Dont use a cell phone. Dont use the internet. When some 1st A audit finds a gov/mil front company, building used as a field office, don't send gov/mil staff out with names on badges to confirm what agency works in the building.
1st A can run their own counter surveillance with both long range audio, networking and with a network of other cameras. Say nothing, do nothing.
Set up bait offices and bait staff. See what 1st A audit shows up first with a very limited internal release of information
Use private security and local city police to do field investigations. Never confirm who is at any location to some random stranger outside with a camera.
Dont allow any building manager to list who works in the building to any strangers with a camera outside.
When using a gov or private camera to photograph a protester, 1st A person, use a cell phone, camera just for that task. No other messages, text, data, images on the device used for that interaction.
Never use a gov cell phone, your own cell phone. It will be part of a FOIA request. Make sure it has nothing extra on it.
FOIA requests will be used on that device and protester can gather all kinds of data on that device by requesting it as it was used as part of an offical investigation.
Stop just giving gov data away with every FOIA request. The FOIA image is that of the protestor and the gov device has no other data on it.
After the FOIA request stop using that camera. One camera, one encounter, one FOIA. No extra data on any police device that can be requested.
Use vehicle registration plates as bait. Drive a set of unmanned cars, vans in and out of a gov building. Uniforms and actors to ensure its a quality production outside the sally port. Track who then enters the same vehicle registration into all kinds of databases. Who goes building a database. Is someone in the gov helping look up gov workers and contractors? Find them. Is someone in the private sector helping protesters on their own databases? Find them.
Find who is doing the lookups and who is requesting the data searches on gov workers, mil, police. From gov records, on private databases.
Make sure you know who you are working with and who is getting hired. Hire on merit. Make sure the person getting hired is fit for law enforcement work, can pass gov/mil security tests.
Track all communications by disgruntled workers. They will pass information on to protesters, 1st A auditors, media, lawyers, faith groups, cults while working
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
I found a whole bunch of those violent anti-fascist assholes. They're under white marble crosses all over Europe.
No you did not. Because the allied soldier under white crosses did not believe in beating up people over words. When the Nazis marched in Illinois in the 1970s the WW2 vets opposed them with words not violence.
It is only the comic book caricature of WW2 soldiers that antifa likens themselves to as they indulge in their own little soldierly fantasies. The immature entitled kid in black north face clothing and balaclava is far far different than the real soldiers who destroyed real fascists. Similar story for the other side of the same idiotic delusions, the neonazi wearing an armband and speaking insulting words is nothing like the real fascists. Both the violent wing of antifa and the neonazis are all posers, little more than asshole cosplayers both.
Now the peaceful wing of antifa, that is an entirely different story. That is where one might find actual WW2 vets.
Speaking as someone who had the privilege to grow up around family who were actual WW2 combat vets, and who had teachers who were actual WW2 combat vets.
And multiple Republican governors have withdrawn their national guards.
Republicans control the presidency, house, and senate. They could fix this tomorrow.

No matter how you feel about immigration in the USA deleting the archive was the right thing to do.
I am ashamed of Slashdot for posting this. Scraping LinkedIn is not newsworthy. It's not an achievement or technically complex. Most people on this site could accomplish this inside a day or two. The only thing this accomplishes is the insinuation that people should take this information and use it to harass government employees, which is not only unethical but potentially criminal.
Some Jew doxed a government agency? Nice.
They scraped content from LinkedIn (or used an API?) to compile a directory, almost certainly in violation of TOS.
How was that OK?
Microsoft owns LinkedIn. Microsoft owns Github. Put two and two together. They are enforcing their TOS, and happen to have the ability to do so in this case without having to convince another site to take down the illegally-obtained material.
For those of us who don't live in the US, ICE stands for (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). I suggest editors/mods consider spelling out abbreviations in brackets when posting articles.
Many of those false images have already been debunked. It's amazing just how much fake news there is In America.

There are quite a few jobs where you expect threats. Immigration enforcement , people evicting others, debt collector and I pass many others. There are many jobs which may need to be done, but for which people affected by those job may not necessarily like the enforcer. Personally I don't see the usefulness of threatening ICE official, but then again I am legal resident on where I live so I am biased.

"1) Trump is only enforcing the law"
1) He is free to decide to NOT enforce or put the accent on different part of the law
3) that is a terrible nightmare for low age children and this is why this is rightfully called child abuse
4) you can be in good physical condition and psychologically abused
5) only when they commit certain category of crime. In this case this should be the equivalent of a misdemeanor and kick the illegal out at best.
6) and YET curiously that was NEVER applied that way under Obama.... Curious that , uh ? Could it be that Trump and its advisor found a way to be depictable and a way to shift the blame on somebody else, when they could be NOT doing that, just like under Obama ? Remember how to enforce and priority are by the executive. And yet.... Those sociopath decide to enforce it that way. Maybe there is something that breitbart does not mention and this is why they are called a biased source ? Who would have thunk that ?
Soldiers that went to fight bearing arms did not at some point believe their violent acts had meaning, and expected the diplomacy and propaganda to do all the work while they marched to the meat grinder? You're insulting their reason.

These migrants do not come here to be apart of the American Dream. They come to destroy the dream that was America. They are not proudly displaying the U.S. flag, They are burning the American flag, and proudly displaying the Mexican flag. They are not spending their nights studying English. They speak Spanish, and make U.S. students learn Spanish too.
The choice is simple. Do you look after your own children, or are you soon generous that you will feed Mexican children while your own children starve.
For willingly putting ICE agents lives in Danger?
Seriously this shit has to stop. It's time to sue slashdot and any other crazy left organisation trying to put our law enforcement offices in danger.
GitHub et al don't want to get involved in an something which is most likely going to end up in doxxing and other attacks.
Well... that didn't take long.

You're basically calling for vigilante / mob rule.
That's messed up, dude.
Here's a better plan:
1. Vote the xenophobic Republicans out of office.
2. Let the courts decide if the ICE officers broke the law by following orders.
Crossing the border without documentation is a misdemeanor.
It's akin to taking your kids away if you get a ticket for jay-walking.
It's the zero tolerance POLICY implemented by the administration in April that is requiring criminal detention for all border crossings. It's this criminal detention for what amounts to a misdemeanor, that is triggering the family separations.
I rate this story 1 hot potatoe
This worries me that the list was taken down. I cannot believe it violated the TOS, as the data was legally compiled. There's a judgement call being made to remove a list which is scary, and fascist.
The Cold War ended over 25 years ago. All that overthrowing Communist govts in Central America stopped before that. That is plenty of time for the locals to recover from American influence.

So people should stop taking illegal drugs? Nope, we'd much rather take the easy way out. That and if we weren't the market, someone else would be, and those countries would still have drug-lords, we just wouldn't be the cause of it.
Willfully identifying feds for the purpose of a crime is a FELONY. No, the fact that the data was on LinkedIn does not matter.
This is why people donâ(TM)t take you seriously. Fucking stupid.
You are willful-lying identifying federal individuals so they can be harassed or manipulated, this is a crime slashdot. WTF
Wait until a link is found between MS-13 or cartels and people doing these kinds of acts and then there will be reason enough to declare martial law.
That "data repository" is simply mass doxxing of ICE employees. It has absolutely no legitimate use, at best it is intended to intimidate the ICE-employees. Whoever sees that as a legitimate way to influence (immigration) policy is obviously unwilling to play by democratic rules.
"By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself." -- Bill Hicks
So now Slashdot is purposefully endorsing doxing government employees for doing their job and keeping our country safe?
ICE is behaving in the most disgusting, despotic fashion right now. All of its employees should be scared into quitting their jobs. Don't give me any of this shit about having "no choice" but to work there, either. This is America, you're not assigned your labour like the Soviet Fucking Union. You *CHOOSE* which job to have and you *CHOOSE* to ignore any evils that your employer is committing. I don't care if all you do is clean the toilets and sweep the floors at ICE, you *ARE* complicit with what's been going on just by drawing a paycheck from them. If the only employer willing to give me a job was ICE, I'd rather turn to robbery to feed myself and my family.
Everyone in this thread who has been defending them and going strictly by the letter of the law with regards to the "definition of a criminal" can get fucked. You have no idea what these families are escaping, but I would love to put all of you on a plane, take your passports from you and drop you off in the countries they're fleeing. It's because of your shitty opinions that I hope America gets its ass kicked hard some time in the future, and I hope the winds don't carry the fallout too far outside your borders when your entire nation gets the nuclear incineration it brought upon itself.
Stop being dicks, stop making enemies and you won't have anything to worry about.
Fucking Americans.
A russian propaganda site? Well done
The Biblical passage that the administration via Sessions is referring to has been used to justify, among other things:

2. German Christian churches submitting to the will of the Third Reich
3. Japanese internment camps

5. banning interracial marriage
6. anti-gay-rights legislation
Regarding the immigrants
Exodus 22:21: Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Leviticus 19:33: When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.
Leviticus 19:34: But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 27:19: Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow.
Jeremiah 22:3: This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Malachi 3:5: âoeSo I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,â says the Lord Almighty.
Hebrews 13:1-2: Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Who's Antifa's astroturf? Some jewish organization? Some legit orgs are jump started by a small astroturf they don't always stay that way.
WTF is it with all this bashing of a small organization who's mission is to stop Nazis or any rebranded resurgence? It is as if we had more attack on them than we did for the Neo-Nazis -- skipping criticism which is rather tired and old by this point but it is far more important to go after Nazi fanboys. Beating the shit out of Nazis is not ideally civilized but it is not the same as just about anything else; besides, they are the exception for the whole planet (FYI, war is not civilized.) One would think a tiny little known group like Antifa would be praised and people signing up like crazy when they got on the national scene protesting our recent Nazi fanboy resurgence. Especially SJW who are desperate for some meaning in their lives-- they should have a far better outlet for their righteousness... maybe they'll actually DO SOMETHING; but probably not because they really don't do anything but blab online which is why they are addicted to unfulfilling platitudes which are best suited for P.C. policing.
I question the motives or intelligence of people who jump on the bandwagon to attack the anti-Nazi crowd.
For every open Nazi fanatic there are 100s of like minded people who are not as extreme but agree with a lot of it.... just like in Germany (and quite a few in the USA at the time.) That is why you can go from fringe minority to movement size suddenly when the majority of the group decides to take action as a group... not necessarily ever following the extreme elements which always do tend to stand out. It's a silent majority of the subgroup; the so-called fanatics are never very silent, only appeased to keep their profile down.
It's an issue for all issue organizations-- look at the political parties-- they are always trying to keep a handle on their internal factions and keep them from bringing down the group or taking over too much of the group and fracturing the base. Before Obama, we had border-line fanatics who jumped the fence once a black man was in and Faux News got big on race baiting them (if you didn't see it, stop reading) and then with Trump's less subtle manipulation they felt safe to come out in the open and surprised people by how much they've grown in number and boldness. This was just those border-line fanatics that had flipped from being silent. It is proper for people to be concerned about further progression; especially around the less fanatic fascists who can rally the larger group: their real base, who will tolerate them just like any party does with it's fringes. Some are seriously wondering if this IS Trump and Trump is at minimum trying to troll concerned people (he does seem to take pleasure in tormenting people who care about things; not really understanding this himself.) You can debate this all you like, but he's clearly sending out signals to them, either he doesn't know how to be subtle, doesn't care, or wants to enjoy trolling people he mocks for caring about something greater than themselves (which totally fits his psych profile.)

2. The vast majority do NOT arrive with an adult. 80% are unaccompanied. Also, not sure where you are getting the .61% for traffickers, sounds like something you made up or some academics misuse of statistics. At most you could know that .61% were convicted of trafficking.
3. Again, you are making shit up.
4. See 3 above
5. Sounds like you suffer from white privilege
6. Obama treated the 80% of unaccompanied children exactly the same as Trump is treating them. The only difference is that Obama didn't enforce the law against the parent.
7. Because asylum was and is being abused.
Good job removing the list.

Good, ICE is doing a good job and the fault lies squarely on the actions of parents.
Where's the outrage when AMERICAN children get sperated when parents are in detention?
Not a bad thing at all.
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.
Using your logic, the doctors who provide abortion openly also deserve to be compiled into a list and have that list publicly posted.
The people that run US concentration camps
Interesting. Where are these, and who is being tortured, gassed to death, medically experimented on, executed without trial and/or forced to make munitions to support a war?
Someone should publicise this shit.

“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
Based on some legal filings I'm seeing, Mickeysoft wasn't quick enough to avoid the lawyers who think they can go after them for hosting this info and conspiring with their LinkedIn subsidiary to provide it. The deep pockets strategy strikes again.
I canâ(TM)t believe Sam would take credit for distributing LinkedInâ(TM)s property without authorization.
Yeah, it's just amazing how much fake news there is everywhere. If quoting Breitbart and RT are your BEST possible sources of unbiased, non-fake news out there, you need to stop. Just stop. You have zero credibility, and are in danger of dipping below that.
Only a small but vocal percentage of dyed-in-the-wool Trumpets still actually believe the bullshit - they are beyond help or hope, idiots dug in so deep with their heads so far up their own asses they can taste the Brylcream.. If they haven't seen through the Dear Leader's bullshit by now, they never will, and any attempt to reason with them merely causes them to dig in deeper. Cries of "Fake News" go up any time anyone or anything refutes their distorted world view.
I'll be looking forward to Trumb getting his nuts cut off at the upcoming midterms, and complete neutralization and replacement soon thereafter. We can't impeach him, Pence would be much worse, being a sneaky shit who is both evil and NOT incompetent, his potential for damage is much greater than Trumb's, who is limited by his own stupidity and lack of being able to negotiate deals well, the only skill we actually had hoped he possessed.
But no, he's a complete charlatan, a Brooklyn street trash phony POS who was accidentally born into money. A thin-skinned, mercurial racist, a misogynistic, narcissist bigot. His only skills are self-aggrandizement and lying, and he's not particularly good even at those dubious "skills".
His attempts to "drain the swamp" are a completely failed and laughable joke, replacing only a few department heads with people determined to cripple or sabotage the very agencies they were appointed to manage. Unable to kill them outright without congressional support, all he can do is maximize the damage by appointing incompetent morons to do his bidding, which is to tear down the agencies from within. See EPA, Dept of Education, HHS, FCC, CFPB, etc. for examples. All the assholes he has appointed are doing their best to destroy them from within, with lackeys ranging from incompetent nincompoops (see HHS, Dept of Education) to outright criminals (see EPA, etc.).
I just hope the damage this asshole and his band of thugs causes is reversible, eventually. It may take more than 4 years to un-do all the harmful policies he has instituted, and it will probably take many more years before the USA is no longer a universally hated entity with the rest of the world.
But hey, as long as TRUMB goes down in history with all the other great dictators of our time, like Putin, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, and Duterte, he will be in great company once he gets to Hell. They should have LOTS to talk about 'til the end of eternity.
