Massive ICE Goon ID Leak Halted by Cyber Attack From Russia

A website dedicated to naming ICE and Border Patrol employees is coming under a "prolonged and sophisticated" cyber attack after the Daily Beast revealed it planned to make public 4,500 names of federal immigration staff. The founder of ICE List said the website was overwhelmed by malicious web traffic originating in Russia after the Beast reported that a huge cache of personal IDs had been leaked to the site by an alleged Department of Homeland Security whistleblower. The Direct Denial of Service (DDOS) assault, which began on Tuesday evening and is still ongoing at the time of publication, saw a huge number of IPs simultaneously access the website of ICE List, a self-styled "accountability initiative."

This has successfully overloaded the ICE List's servers and is preventing people from accessing the site. The timing coincided with ICE List founder Dominick Skinner telling the Daily Beast he would make public the first tranche of names in the dataset, which was leaked following the shooting by an ICE agent of mom Renee Nicole Good.

That leads me to ask a difficult question for me to ask, who is Sec Noem working for?

The American people, or Pres Putin?

Everything we're experiencing right now is originating in Russia.

Every bit of our decline is Putin's doing through his willing conduit, Trump.

I've been hearing a lot more comments along the lines of Noem isn't actually running anything.

Her affair partner, Cory Lewandowski, is the one actually calling the shots even though he's technically just a member of staff.
